Announcing the 1st Annual SERC Open House for Industry! 🚀
Curious what the next generation of space technology looks like before it hits the market? Come see it being built in real time.
Join us on July 15th at the USC Space Engineering Research Center for a full day of innovation, live demos, student showcases, and behind-the-scenes access inside USC’s premier—and only—Space Engineering Research Center located right on the water in Marina del Rey.
This is not a traditional conference. It’s an opportunity to walk through active laboratories, meet the engineers and researchers building the future of space systems, and connect directly with the students, faculty, PhD researchers, and industry partners driving new ideas forward.
What to Expect
~Lightning talks and rotating presentations throughout the day
~Guided tours through more than a dozen active research labs
~Live demonstrations of cutting-edge space technologies
~Networking with researchers, startups, industry leaders, and students
~Opportunities to explore collaborations, internships, and technology transition pathways
~Featured Areas & Projects
This summer, more than 20 students from USC, partner universities, and local high schools are working on hands-on projects spanning:
~Space robotics
~Satellite systems
~AI and autonomy
~Space cybersecurity
~Advanced sensing and sensor networks
~Communications and processing systems
~Orbital operations and infrastructure
You’ll also hear from:
