New Cohort of KISS Study Programs Push the Frontiers of Space Exploration

Five new study topics have been selected by the Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS) at Caltech to develop collaborations, frameworks, and mission concepts to transform the future of space exploration. The projects were competitively selected as part of KISS’s annual cohort from over two dozen proposals. KISS Study Programs focus on developing ideas and concepts that can revolutionize space science and engineering, leveraging Caltech’s deep collaborative ties with JPL—which Caltech manages for NASA—and facilitating connections between academia, commercial industry, and government agencies.
