Ever wanted to build a spacecraft? Well we’ve got three of them! Space Systems Design Studio is a research lab at Cornell University that seeks to push the boundaries of spacecraft capabilities through novel applications of modern physics and innovative design. We are currently engaged in several flight projects to demonstrate concepts, provide research testbeds, and enhance the state of spaceflight technology. Graduates from our lab have interned, worked, and risen to senior management roles at places like NASA, SpaceX, Northrop Grumman, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Blue Origin, Planet Labs, Apple, Facebook, Google and many more!

All of our projects are recruiting for Spring 2023. This includes both CubeSat teams and spacecraft technology research led by graduate students. We are looking for new members with all levels of experience who want to work on a fast-paced team developing cutting edge technology.

There will be two in-person info sessions:

  • Monday January 23rd at 6:00pm (Upson 222)
  • Tuesday January 24th at 7:00pm (Upson 222)

We are seeking students in ECE, CS, AEP, and MAE, and more. If interested, please see https://www.spacecraftresearch.com/opportunities and apply via this google form (also accessible via the opportunities page). Applications are considered on a rolling basis until the course enrollment deadline, but please apply early! Many projects in the lab are looking to finalize recruitment as soon as possible.

Hello all!

This is a reminder that the final add deadline for MAE 1900, 4291, 4900, [and 4980-TAing for credit] is Friday Oct 1 at 11:59pm on StudentCenter.

StudentCenter requires a permission number to enroll in the above courses. You can only receive a permission number by submitting your MAE 1900/4291/4900 online form. Your MAE faculty research advisor must then follow the link in their email to approve your form, which then shoots off to Ashley to send you a permission number to enroll in StudentCenter. The MAE Undergrad Office closes at 4:30pm on weekdays, which means Ashley is not sending out permission numbers at 5pm, 8pm, 11pm on October 1st. So please submit your online form as soon as possible.

If you have already submitted your online form but haven’t received a permission number yet, please follow up with your faculty research advisor to make sure they have opened the email and approved the form.

The Engineering Registrar’s Office WILL NOT be approving any petitions to add late. If you do not complete the above steps in time, if you forget to enroll in StudentCenter, you will be considered a volunteer for the semester.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Sincerely,
Kae-Lynn Wilson
