The University of Michigan Space Institute

Empowering the University of Michigan to Advance Its World Leadership in Space

The Space Institute is the central focal point of space-related research across the entire University of Michigan campus, where stakeholders are encouraged to collaborate creatively and effectively with colleagues from a broad range of backgrounds.

We Advance Leadership in Space Activities:
  • Scientifically (including fundamental and applied research)
  • Technically (via engineering and project synergies)
  • Socially (emphasizing society’s reliance on space)
  • Commercially (through innovation, workforce education and corporate partnerships)
Our Focus is Three-Fold:
  1. Conduct research from space
  2. Design systems to operate in space
  3. Allow humans to live in space
