Apply now for Spaceflight Operations Workshop™! Do you have what it takes?
If “What I Did This Summer” essays were still a thing in school, the Department of Aerospace Engineering Spaceflight Operations Workshop would offer some great inspiration.

The application period for the two-week experience, set for August 2-14, 2022, is now open.
