The Universities Space Research Association (USRA) is dedicated to advancing space sciences and exploration through innovative research, technology, and educational programs. We accomplish this mission by providing a collaborative membership organization where universities and other research organizations may cooperate effectively with each other, with the United States government, and other entities to develop knowledge associated with space science and technology.
