The International Satellite Program in Research and Education (INSPIRE) is a consortium of global space universities formed to advance space science and engineering, spearheaded by CU Boulder-LASP. Each INSPIRE small satellite will proceed from concept to flight in three years, providing the opportunity for undergraduate and graduate student involvement in small-satellite design, building, testing, and operations. INSPIRE brings science, engineering, and management to campuses across the globe. The INSPIRE program aims to provide a constellation of Earth and space weather-observing satellites.
The University of Colorado at Boulder together with the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) at Thiruvananthapuram, and National Central University (NCU) in
INSPIRE runs a summer program at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Boulder campus from May end to July end.
