NASA has released an initial document detailing its proposal for the United States Space Academy, signaling an aggressive push to bring the institution to fruition.
According to the timeline provided in the release, the space agency is targeting a groundbreaking for a permanent campus as early as next year. The plan calls for the first cohort of students to enroll and begin their studies in temporary facilities starting in 2028, followed by a full transition to the permanent campus by 2031.
While the document confirms the ambitious schedule, further details regarding the design and layout of the future campus are expected to follow.
Finally! The US really needs its own dedicated space service academy. Can’t wait to see the campus designs next.
Twenty-eight is incredibly aggressive. I hope they aren’t cutting corners on safety just to hit that launch date.
