SmallSat Mission Design School

The Cornell SmallSat Mission Design School, hosted by the departments of astronomy and mechanical and aerospace engineering, is partnering with the Ithaca Sciencenter to build science communication and community engagement into the core of its curriculum. The program is inspired by the legacy of famed Cornell astronomy professor Carl Sagan and engineering alumnus Bill Nye, who each inspired wonder and pursuit of careers in science across the globe.

Now, the newest generation of student scientists will teach kids about the tools available to explore our universe. Through interactive satellite design demonstrations, the Cornell students will turn science into a story and K-12 at the Sciencenter students will learn that they can write the next chapter.
