The Space Systems Research Center at the United States Air Force Academy is building a cadre of space professionals 'one cadet at a time'. Cadets majoring in astronautical engineering and space operations participate in a two-semester capstone program in the design, fabrication, testing and launching of a sounding rocket (the FalconLAUNCH program), or in the design, fabrication, testing, launching and operation of a satellite in space (the FalconSAT and FalconOPS programs). This paper details the development, challenges, and advantages or conducting an undergraduate space program performing world class research.
