ISU students and alumni are not only embedded in a network of more ISU founders Todd Hawley, Bob Richards and Peter Diamandis in 1987 than 4800 Space professionals, but they also become network-builders themselves.

This is an essential skill today, because the Space sector is dynamic and growing and Space projects involve many stakeholders including government agencies, research organizations, industry, academia, and the financial com- munity worldwide.

I am proud of being part of the ISU community and hope that you will also decide to become an active member if you are not one already. In the meantime, I wish you a very rich learning experience.

Prof. Pascale Ehrenfreund Chair of the Executive Board, – DLR ISU Chancellor

“The International Space University is an institution founded on the vision of a peaceful, prosperous and boundless future through the study, exploration and development of space for the benefit of all humanity.”
