Bridging space research and policy
As part of Georgia Tech’s Space Research Institute (SRI), the Center for Space Policy and International Relations (CSPIR) brings together faculty and students interested in the political, economic, and security dimensions of space. Through research on diplomacy, governance, sustainability, and astrobiology, CSPIR contributes insight that strengthens the broader space community at Georgia Tech.
Who We Are
CSPIR connects research, policy, and education to shape the future of space. Faculty and students analyze the political, economic, and security implications of space activity, bridging scholarship and decision-making. Our faculty are actively involved in the policy community, meeting with government and industry leaders, and testifying before Congress. They have completed appointments at NASA, the Office of Space Commerce, and the Department of Defense, and contributed to reports for the National Academy of Sciences.
