What is Georgia Tech’s Space Research Initiative?

Georgia Tech’s Space Research Initiative (SRI) is composed of faculty and staff across campus who have a common interest in space exploration and discovery. Collectively, we research a wide range of topics on space and how it relates to our human perspective.

SRI is the ultimate hub of all things space related at Georgia Tech. We connect all the research institutes, labs, facilities, and colleges to pioneer the conversation about space in the state of Georgia. By working hand in hand with academics, business partners, and students we are committed to staying at the cutting edge of innovation. We look forward to you joining the conversation!
