We are funded by NASA as part of National Space Grant Program. There are 52 consortia in the National Space Grant program, with one consortium in each state, in addition to Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.
Our vision:
Providing an inclusive and interdisciplinary community of Colorado students with NASA-aligned, realworld research and project experiences to prepare them for our Nation鈥檚 future space programs.
Our mission:
COSGC uses the excitement of our Nation鈥檚 aeronautics and space program to inspire, educate, and develop America鈥檚 future technological workforce by enabling an inclusive and interdisciplinary community of college and university students to participate in NASA-aligned hands-on projects and innovative courses. Projects include orbital and sub-orbital missions, autnomous robotics and wearable technology projects, participation in NASA competitions, astronomical observing projects, and other faculty and industry supported research.
The COSGC involves 19 colleges & universities and 1 non-profit foundation across the state of Colorado. Each year COSGC engages over 400 college and university students on their home campuses. Many of our members teach space-related courses.
