10 Years. 425+ Students. Infinite Possibilities.

Celebrating a Decade of Launching Aerospace Leaders

What began a decade ago with three undergraduates and a wild dream to build a satellite has officially become a launchpad for the next generation of space pioneers.

Today, the Small Satellite Research Laboratory (SSRL) has 100+ members, giving undergraduates real-world, hands-on experience designing and building CubeSats. Our alumni aren’t just dreaming about space — they’re shaping it, taking their SSRL experience directly to industry giants like NASA, Boeing and cutting-edge aerospace startups.

Help us launch our next 10 years of innovation!

Every dollar directly fuels the tools, hardware and late-night breakthroughs that empower our students:

  • $15 = Fueled by pepperoni (A late-night build-session pizza)

  • $350 = Spot at a national aerospace conference

  • $2,500 = A game-changing summer internship

Invest in our students today and help send the future of aerospace into orbit!
