Space Professional Society To Connect is to Empower
The Space Professional Society [SPS] is a student-led program that aims to empower college students within the space domain through exposure to the United States Space Force and growing Space Industry.
Students need involvement, they want to make an impact, and the USSF and the Industry need upcoming professionals to be ready for the challenges of space. And the Space Professional Society is the remedy for that.
Program
Connections, scholarships, workshops, a news column for students, and a Capstone Experience, the Space Professional Society has it all. It is driven by students and is a non-profit program, but has the backing of the Space Force Association [SFA], allowing the efforts and ideas of student members to become a reality.
SPS has a unique variety of opportunities to offer college students with any interest in becoming involved with space. Students do not have to pay a fee to join, nor sign a contract to join the military, all students from all majors and paths are free to join.
capstone experience
A national competition from teams within SPS Chapters where teams will create solutions that support and/or address the needs within America’s space community.
Teams will compete at three levels: Chapter, Regional, and National. Each level they will be free to address any need of the space domain related to their level, and then present to a panel of space industry representatives and Guardians.
Only three teams will be selected from the Regional level to move onto the National level, where they will present at the SFA SPACEPOWER Conference, and be awarded prize money and make career-starting connections.
Applications to enter are open to all college students, regardless of academic year or major.
