Description
For years, the face of man's exploration of space has been one of individuals. In recent times, that face has turned to one of partnership and cooperation. One needs to look only as far as the International Space Station to see what can be accomplished through that cooperation. This concept should not only apply to governments and corporations, but to all interested parties in the exploration of space.
Throughout the history of space exploration, post-secondary institutions have played an important but often small part in that exploration. The role they played is one mainly of a think tank, developing new ideas and evaluating data. There was even the occasional experiment or payload. However, today's post-secondary institutions are changing. Schools are becoming more competitive and the students desire more participation. This creates a resource of great potential for space exploration.
