Get Involved

The MIT Small Satellite Collaborative brings together people, ideas, and infrastructure to shape the future of space systems. Centered on small satellites as a powerful and adaptable platform, we integrate research, education, and deployment to expand how we observe Earth, explore the universe, and build resilient space systems that serve society.

If you’re interested in contributing, collaborating, or learning more, we’d love to hear from you.

The MIT Small Satellite Collaborative is currently formulating activities for Spring 2026.
