OUR PROGRAMS
EXOTIC PROPULSION
In 2013 The Space Studies Institute announced the start of the Exotic Propulsion Initiative, a daring and important project to explore and fund breakthrough propulsion opportunities at the very borderlands of physics.
OUR PROGRAMS
G-LAB
The SSI G-Lab is a free flying orbital laboratory on orbit nearby, and not attached to, the International Space Station. This proximity allows for human tending of research animals with a relatively low fuel cost in that resupply craft from the Earth could visit the lab before or after ISS dockings.
