| The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) established
the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program in 1989 under
a mandate of the U.S. Congress. The Space Grant Program reinforces
NASA's commitment to space-related science and engineering education.
Clarkson University joined with Cornell University in January 1990
to form the New York Space Grant Consortium. The space grant
designation recognizes that the participants are substantially
involved in a broad spectrum of NASA research, offer advanced study
in aerospace fields, and are significantly active in related public
service.
