Space Foundation Discovery Institute
The Space Foundation is solidifying its position as one of the nation’s premier space-focused education providers with the establishment of the new Space Foundation Discovery Institute on the campus of the Jack Swigert Aerospace Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.
The Space Foundation Discovery Institute will provide space- and aerospace-themed professional development, training and support for teachers and students from around the world and will serve as the base location for the Space Foundation’s popular education programs. It will house classrooms, a NASA Educator Resource Center, and eventually include three major laboratories: a simulated space mission operations center to open in early 2010; a simulated Martian terrain laboratory to open in early 2011; and, as funding becomes available, a Science on a Sphere facility in early 2012.
