Space Enabled is currently accepting new students.
Learn more about how to apply.
The mission of the Space Enabled research group is to advance justice in Earth's complex systems using designs enabled by space. Our message is that
six types of space technology are supporting societal needs
, as defined by the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals
. These six technologies include satellite earth observation, satellite communication, satellite positioning, microgravity research, technology transfer, and the inspiration we derive from space research and education. While much good work has been done, barriers still remain that limit the application of space technology as a tool for sustainable development. The Space Enabled research group works to increase the opportunities to apply space technology in support of the Sustainable Development Goals. Our research applies six methods, including design thinking, art, social science, complex systems, satellite engineering and data science. We pursue our work by collaborating with development leaders who represent multilateral organizations, national and local governments, nonprofits and entrepreneurial firms to identify opportunities to apply space technology in their work.  We strive to enable a more just future in which every community and country can easily and affordably apply space-enabled technology to improve public services and solve local challenges.
The work toward our mission covers three themes:
Research to apply existing space technology to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
Research to design space systems that are accessible and sustainable
Research to study the relationship between technology design and justice
