The Lehigh University Space Initiative is a student-run club that is designed to foster students' passion for all things space and astronautics. Members are encouraged to gain hands-on experience within the club, whether it be in design, manufacturing, software, assembly, or business. Through this process, long-lasting friendships are able to thrive amongst members, and networking connections between students, faculty, astronautics and aerospace industry professionals are built. LUSI is an official chapter of Students for Exploration & Development of Space (SEDS USA), which is an international student organization promoting space exploration through educational and engineering projects.
This year, we are building a Mars rover for the University Rover Challenge, an international robotics competition, and working to launch our satellite, OSPREY, to space. Your contributions will allow us to have our members practice their engineering skills with more advanced equipment, to build our most competitive rover yet, and get Lehigh into space (literally!)
