Ames Reseach Labs, with the support of the Collaborative, won the contract to hold International Space University Summer Session Program in 2009 at the Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA.

The International Space University was established in 1987 as an institution founded on the vision of a peaceful, prosperous and boundless future through the study, exploration and development of space for the benefit of all humanity. "This is the first time in the program's history that this prestigious summer session will be held at a NASA center, and I'm very proud that we will have a key role in developing future leaders in the global space community," said Ames Research Center Director Pete Worden.
