Nova Space and Allen Interactions developed the first space educational program designed for all learners, bridging the global space industry gaps by offering virtual, asynchronous, and interactive courses to individuals and to organizations. This program was designed to effectively and efficiently train, in large numbers, the space workforce of the future.

Addressing both industry standard practices and knowledge, innovative topics, established topics, and lessons learned, no other course encompasses the scope of material covered. Focusing on student frustration—having to take multiple courses to acquire this level of knowledge—Nova Space was able to cover this range of learning objectives. 

Every interaction in the course supports core learning objectives. By developing interactions that bridge several topics, this program demonstrates how one area, for example, satellite design, will affect another seemingly unrelated area. 

Through a modular approach to distributing practice of core skills, identification of skill gaps, and simulated environments, this program effectively supports learning objectives and retention of material for all students and learning styles.
