Welcome to the District
of Columbia
Space Grant Consortium
The District of Columbia Space Grant Consortium
(DCSGC) is one of 52 members of a national network,
known as "Space Grant," encompassing over
1200 universities and organizations in every state,
the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The Space
Grant Program was authorized by federal legislation
in 1988 and is administered by the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration (NASA).
The DCSGC is hosted by American University's Department
of Computer Science, Audio Technology & Physics
in Washington, D.C. From its location in the nation's
capital, the DCSGC utilizes the city's rich and unique
resources. Washington, D.C. is the center of power
in the U.S. government, and is home to NASA Headquarters,
the Smithsonian Institution, and many other space,
science, and education associations and organizations.
Annual meetings of the National Council of Space Grant
Directors are hosted in Washington, D.C. by the DCSGC.
Founded in 1991, the DCSGC shares the excitement
and understanding of space and science among scientists,
educators, students, and the general public. Our educational
programs, activities, and publications are supported
by NASA, DCSGC affiliate members, and various federal,
non-federal, corporate, and non-profit contributors.
