Organizational structure, practice, and management have an enormous affect on the success of student-lead and
student-involved instrument missions. Through its involvements with the student projects SME, SNOE and SDC, LASP has
developed organizational approaches that provide high-quality for-flight hardware that employs a mix of professionals and
students. Keys to the success of these programs include the following tenets: 1) the professional involvement needs to be
well defined at the onset of the program; 2) the organizational structure needs to be clearly defined; 3) student
expectations and learning outcomes should be predetermined; and 4) the scope of the project needs to incorporate the time
constraints of student availability so that outcomes allow students to experience project success (or project milestones)
prior to graduation.
