BEYOND LAUNCH

Education

At AAC, we share a deep passion for leveraging space technology to improve life on Earth, advance space exploration, and help make humanity a multi‑planetary species. We currently offer two dynamic STEM programs:

1. Education Kits
Our Education Kits are designed for students in grades K‑8 and 9‑12. These hands‑on kits teach rocket technology through engaging exercises and are available for checkout in Anchorage and Kodiak. They are ideal for classroom teachers, community groups, and home‑school educators.

2. Launch Day Experience
Our Launch Day program invites school groups to visit our spaceport for an immersive, age‑appropriate experience. This program offers a firsthand look at the excitement of rocket launches and provides valuable insights into space operations.

For more information about our STEM programs, please contact us. Stay tuned to this page for updates on our projects, technological advancements, and collaborative initiatives in the aerospace industry.

Internships

Alaska Aerospace offers both paid and unpaid internships for college students pursuing majors in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) or business. These opportunities are available during the summer as well as throughout the academic year for students based in Anchorage and Kodiak.

One of our key internship programs is the Alaska Space Grant Program, which supports students majoring in STEM or STEM education. Learn more about this opportunity at Alaska Space Grant Program.

If you are interested in interning with AAC, please send us your information and interests.

Tours

Come visit the spaceport! Except during times when Narrow Cape must be closed to ensure public safety (historically less than 1% of the time, though this may increase slightly in the future), the surrounding lands are open for recreational activities. Residents and visitors enjoy hiking the trails, exploring Fossil Beach, observing local wildlife, and watching passing whales.

We also host an annual Open House each September, offering behind‑the‑scenes tours of our launch operations and facilities. (Check our website for announcements about the next Open House.) School groups, community organizations, and other small groups are welcome to contact us about scheduling a tour. Otherwise, PSCA’s launch facilities remain closed to the public.
