The Morehead State University Space Science Center has been established to provide a research and educational facility with state-of-the art laboratories for undergraduate students in space science. Space science is an extremely interdisciplinary and technology-intensive discipline which encompasses physics, astrophysics, satellite telecommunications, electrical engineering, mathematics and computer sciences. The Space Science Center originated from a joint NASA-Morehead State-Kentucky NSF EPSCoR venture to develop a large aperture (21-meter) radiotelescope and satellite tracking station and associated laboratories and degree programs at Morehead State University. New degree programs to be offered include: B.S. in Space Science, B.S. in Physics Area of Concentration in Astrophysics, and a Minor in Astronomy. Morehead State University has received significant funding from NASA, the Kentucky Science and Engineering Foundation, and the US Small Business Administration to make the dream of space a reality at MSU.
