SSC Seminar
The SSC Innovation and Research Seminar is the flagship forum for the Small Satellite Collaborative that brings together academia, industry, and government to discuss cutting-edge technology and foundational research in the space industry.
Watch students present their research in a 15-minute “lightning talk” format with a Q&A at the end of each talk.
This seminar is open to the MIT community and to the general public.
