To use microsatellites, to expand the use of space in the service of mankind and to bring the
"personal computer revolution" to space through research and building small, functional, affordable
satellites alone, in formations and in constellations.

Research USC-MSC engages in research in microsatellite-centric pervasive science and
technology. New miniaturization technology is encouraging new thinking across the entire scale of spacecraft and their
applications, but nowhere more than in micro and small satellites. The research includes not only
designing/developing, but also building, launching, and placing experimental microsatellites on orbit
to test, evaluate and validate the research.
Industrial Synergy Satellite science and technology, applicable to all classes of
spacecraft, is prominently represented in Southern California, the heart of the space industry, and the Center
will enhance it.
Education Students, working as members of USC-MSC R&D teams, will acquire experience
highly valued by Industry and Government R&D centers. The Center will provide a stimulating research environment
and will give both undergraduate and graduate students hands-on experience to prepare them to be the Space Workforce
of the Future and the thrill of seeing their work launched and placed in orbit.
