Welcome!

Welcome to the website for ASGSR students! We are a multidisciplinary group of science/engineering students across the United States and world who participate (or are just interested in!) microgravity sciences. We participate in education, outreach, and professional development through the framework of our parent organization, the American Society for Gravitational and Space Research.

For more information on our parent chapter, see asgsr.org. For more information on ASGSR’s student spaceflight challenge, see the main page for theKen Souza Memorial Spaceflight Competition.
