Internship – 4-part course series

Space, the ultimate limit

Many of us have heard this phrase throughout our lives, but how many of us believed that we had the opportunity to truly explore this frontier? No matter what your major or field of knowledge is, if you are interested in being a part of space, the “Path to Space” internship is for you. Humanity has only just begun to come closer to understanding the cosmos. To deepen our knowledge of the universe, the skills and talents of all people are required. You enter the internship with the phrase: “I love space…” and end it with the phrase: “I understand space better and have an idea about how I can be a part of its exploration.”

The courses

  • Course 1: Our Place in the Cosmos

    We will talk about how mankind’s amazement about space led to our understanding of the cosmos and the tools we used to gain this knowledge.

  • Course 2: How to get there and go beyond

    Including what defines space and the ways we explore our solar system and beyond.

  • Course 3: Business, Politics, Policy, and Participants in Space Programs

    Explores the components, mechanisms, and people that bring space missions to reality.

  • Course 4: Space Everywhere
