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.
