The Stanford Student Space Initiative (SSI) is a completely student-run organization founded in 2013 with the mission of giving future leaders of the space industry the hands-on experience and broader insight they need to realize the next era of space development.

SSI is the largest project-based group on campus. We’re the gathering place for people who want to act on their interests in space. Since 2013, we’ve flown a zero gravity experiment with NASA, built multiple CubeSats, inspired 60 teams in 20 countries to launch high altitude balloons, certified 30 students for high powered rocketry, hosted over 100 speakers at talks and conferences, been featured in media like Popular Science, and helped our members intern and work at top aerospace companies.

Over the next year, our teams will launch a suite of 4 rockets designed to test novel rocketry technologies, launch our first satellite, send a high altitude balloon across the country, develop a space-based optical communications system, teach a space policy class, organize speaker events and workshops with industry leaders, and host our second annual conference.

We invite you to join us.
