Mission
The Small Satellite Research Lab (SSRL) at the University of Georgia is dedicated to “teaching, developing, and discovering” through hands-on student involvement in CubeSat technologies. In collaboration with private, state, and federal partners, SSRL advances workforce development in the aerospace industry by directly engaging students in every phase of CubeSat development. Students gain practical skills through hands-on experience in sensor design and integration, CNC milling, flight software development, ground station communications, research presentations, and grant proposal development. SSRL demonstrates how small satellite systems can make large scientific discoveries while nurturing the next generation of space scientists, engineers, and aerospace leaders.
