leading showcase of space technology and services for spacecraft, satellite and launcher systems, subsystems, components and materials for civil, military and commercial space.

The amount of debris in space is rising exponentially and is a threat to astronauts, cosmonauts and martian colonizers. Scientists don't want to just clean it up......they're figuring out creative ways to re-use it.

The size of a loaf of bread, Aeneas is the first nanosatellite able to track an object on the Earth's surface

Built by students at the University of Southern California (USC) Aeneas is a 3U CubeSat planned to launch August 2, 2012 from the Vandenburg Air Force Base on an Atlas-5 rocket into a 880 x 450 km 60.4 degree inclination orbit.

In summer 2012, USC will launch a second satellite into space.

USC-Northrop Grumman-Applied Minds CAERUS package now in 90-minute earth orbit, testing ISI-developed communications unit

A group of astronautical engineering students at the University of Southern California (USC) are building the school’s first satellite, which is expected to launch early next year to demonstrate a new cargo container-tracking capability for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The "Cubesat" nanosatellite will go into orbit in late 2010 or early 2011 with payload designed to track containers.
