The Media Lab Space Exploration Initiative is driven by an effort to democratize the future of space exploration. As such, we are committed to the development of meaningful community engagement endeavors related to achieving an open and hackable "New Space Age." Beginning in Spring 2018, in an aim to fulfill NASA’s vision of 50 CubeSats from 50 States in 5 Years, we are launching our Climate CubeSat Co-building Outreach Program (C3), in which 20 Boston-area high school students will design, build, test, and launch a cube satellite that measures climate science parameters. Mentorship will be drawn from researchers at the Media Lab, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, MIT AeroAstro, and other members of our Space Exploration Initiative community.
