Why OASSP(Organisation of Allied Space Sciences Professionals) Exists
Since 2011, OASSP(Organisation of Allied Space Sciences Professionals) has worked to close the gap between academic space science and applied mission engineering. We believe the next generation of discoveries — from cislunar logistics to deep-space propulsion — depends on professionals who can move fluidly between theory, laboratory, and flight hardware. OASSP(Organisation of Allied Space Sciences Professionals) Campus exists to train, fund, and connect that community.
Independent & Non-Profit
Governed by working scientists and engineers, not commercial interests — every program is designed to serve the field, not shareholders.
Open Research
Findings, datasets, and mission post-mortems from OASSP(Organisation of Allied Space Sciences Professionals)-affiliated work are published openly to accelerate the field as a whole.
Field-Tested Training
Our fellows and students work alongside practicing mission engineers, not just in the classroom — training built for the realities of spaceflight.
Where We Concentrate Our Work
OASSP(Organisation of Allied Space Sciences Professionals)-affiliated researchers organize around four core disciplines, each with its own working group, publication track, and annual symposium.
Propulsion Systems
Chemical, electric, and emerging propulsion concepts for orbital transfer, deep-space transit, and in-space servicing missions.
Orbital Mechanics & Mission Design
Trajectory optimization, constellation design, and cislunar navigation for both institutional and commercial mission planning.
Astrophysics & Observation
Ground- and space-based observational research, instrumentation design, and data pipelines for large survey collaborations.
Space Systems Engineering
Spacecraft subsystem design, environmental testing, and reliability engineering for small-sat and deep-space platforms.
Facilities & Resources
While OASSP(Organisation of Allied Space Sciences Professionals) operates as a distributed research network, our campus hub coordinates shared facilities, virtual laboratories, and mission-simulation infrastructure for affiliated researchers and students.
-
Mission Operations Simulation Lab A shared virtual environment for trajectory planning, ops-team training, and mission-rehearsal exercises used across fellowship cohorts.
-
OASSP(Organisation of Allied Space Sciences Professionals) Open Research Library An open-access repository of peer-reviewed papers, mission reports, and datasets contributed by our research community.
-
Partner Fabrication & Test Access Through partner institutions, fellows gain scheduled access to environmental testing chambers and small-scale fabrication facilities.
-
Distributed Computing Cluster Shared compute allocation for orbital simulation, astrophysical modeling, and large-scale data reduction tasks.
