The ACCESS for Education Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation, was established in September 2007 by the founders of Microgravity Enterprises, Inc., who’s belief that space should be accessible and affordable to everyone sparked the idea of a non-profit educational program (the ACCESS for Education Program) that involves the tremendous talent and creative spirit in the Nation's schools and universities to help make commercial space a reality. The mission of the ACCESS for Education Foundation is to provide educational and public outreach focused on space research, development and commercialization.
