Young Space Activities Overview in Mexico

In Mexico, the interest for space has a long history, and the main builders of this era in the national development have always been the curious and adventurous youth. Through the projects that we are developing on our national universities and the independent clubs and societies we are forming, we are getting pretty unstoppable. We have realized that space science and engineering can be a big motivation in the eternal human quest to find our place in the universe.

Entrepreneuring on a big variety of projects of true Mexican talent, this is the way we, the next space generation, aim to support the future national space program that will be driven by the Mexican Space Agency, to make our voices heard in the higher spheres of Mexican academia, government and industry. The active participation and interest of students, teachers and independent teams through 2010 was impactful, there wasn’t any conference, symposium or congress that wasn’t full of young minds, willing to take the lead on the development of Mexican Modern Age and the resolution of its problems.
