Space for Students

The men and women who work for organizations like The Aerospace Corporation are part of a challenging and rewarding frontier and an industry that at 40-plus years is still very vigorous. Humans have achieved orbit, landed on and explored the moon, and sent spacecraft on incredibly long exploratory journeys to the planets, the sun, and the stars.

Part of our commitment to the future of our nation's continued success in and access to space is to inspire new generations who will continue the work of company's like The Aerospace Corporation.

In this section we've compiled information for students about the Global Positioning System in our GPS Primer, and launch and rocket technologies in our Space Primer. You can view them online, download pdf versions of either, or request a print copy by e-mail.
