This document describes the Cooperative Satellite Learning Project (CSLP) which is designed to educate students in the areas of space science, engineering, and technology in a business-like atmosphere. The project is a partnership between the National Aeronautics and Space Association (NASA), Allied Signal Technical Services Corporation, and member schools and their communities. CSLP students work with Small Explorer (SMEX) series satellites that average three years from design to launch and data collection. The project encourages student input and leadership by appointing a core group of students to head different sub-groups including mission monitoring station, multimedia, outreach, fine arts, publishing, newsletter, telecommunications, video, accounting and administration, supercomputing, and mechanical.
