Cornell SmallSat Mission Design School

Unique summer workshop to inspire innovative missions in high-priority space science made possible with small spacecraft. A collaboration between Cornell University faculty from Aerospace Engineering and Astronomy, SMDS seeks to provide students with first-hand experience in space mission design. Participants shall develop a mission concept with immediate relevance to NASA’s Decadal Survey science priorities, directed at an upcoming announcement of opportunity for a funded flight program. Students will benefit from the combined expertise of both Cornell faculty and external scientists and engineers working in industry.
