Mission

The Mission of the Ohio Space Grant Consortium (OSGC) is to advance the Nation’s capability in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) leading to the continued development of a diverse workforce through NASA-related collaborations within Ohio’s network of scientists, researchers, engineers, and educators at Ohio colleges and universities, the Ohio Aerospace Institute, NASA Centers, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and industry that align with the National Space Grant Program goals and objectives and NASA’s education outcomes. A key component of this activity is to attract and retain students in STEM disciplines with emphasis on increasing participation by women and underrepresented groups.

Goldilocks Soars!

Lorain County Community College (LCCC) participated in the Midwest Regional Collegiate Rocket Competition on April 27th. Headed by Advisor Marlin Linger and team captain Pete Buca, LCCC's Goldilocks rocket launched twice - Launch 1 was 3,315 feet, and Launch 2 was 3,220.

Don’t blink if you watch this video of the launch; those I540 motors were very fast!
