Columbia Space Initiative

Overview

The Columbia Space Initiative (CSI) is a student group dedicated to space projects on campus, from NASA challenges to outreach and job opportunities in the space exploration field. Founded in September 2015 with the help of astronaut professor Mike Massimino, CSI has participated in three NASA challenges (Micro-g NExT, RASCAL and BIG), launched its own model rockets and balloons, and has organised many events with former astronauts, NASA employees, and individuals involved in the space industry.
