Help Train the Next Generation of Space Explorers

Southeast Analog (SEA) is a student-led analog astronaut program based in the United States and part of a growing movement of student-driven initiatives expanding access to spaceflight training.

Through astronaut training, mission control operations, engineering development, and research experiments, SEA allows students to experience the real responsibilities behind human spaceflight.

Our pilot analog mission in August 2026 will bring together students from more than 30 universities, operating a simulated space mission environment designed to train future aerospace leaders.

Your partnership helps make this possible.
