Welcome to the Colorado Space Grant Consortium

Welcome to the Colorado Space Grant Consortium (COSGC) website. Here you will find all you would like to know about our organization and our student programs. If you do not find what you are looking for, please contact me directly.

The COSGC is funded by NASA and is a state-wide organization involving 13 colleges, universities and institutions around Colorado. Our organization provides Colorado students access to space through innovative courses, real-world hands-on telescope and satellite programs, and interactive outreach programs.

Our students interact with engineers and scientists from NASA and aerospace companies to develop, test, and fly new space technologies and to support our outreach and teaching programs.

We welcome all students and are always looking for way to enhance their experience through new interactions and collaborations with NASA, government agencies, and companies.

I hope you enjoy your visit to our site and I look forward to your involvement in our program. COSGC Logo

Student Highlight

Riley Pack

Riley Pack is a senior in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Applied Mathematics at the University of Colorado at Boulder. By taking the Gateway to Space class his freshman year, Riley became involved with a variety of projects at Space Grant including RocketSat 2, 3, and the conceptualization of 4. The past two years, Riley has focused on the CubeSat project, with designing, implementing and testing the software system for the satellite. Riley has also continued to work with RockOn throughout his college career. Recently, Riley was awarded one of the coveted Astronaut Scholarship Foundation awards for 2009-10. The award is given to the top engineering and science student who exhibits motivation, imagination, and exceptional performance. It is the highest monetary award for engineering based solely on merit. In the future he plans to finish school at CU and move to an industry job in electrical engineering for approximately ten years before returning to school for a Ph.D. He would like to become a university professor because he loves teaching and helping people learn. Outside of Space Grant, Riley enjoys winter activities such as skiing, and also enjoys racquetball.
