First-ever open house showcases USC SERC where students are building satellites, developing space robots and preparing for the next generation of space exploration
USC’s Space Engineering Research Center, or SERC, has spent years building satellites, developing robotic systems and training the next generation of space engineers. Until now, much of that work has happened behind closed doors.
On Wednesday, July 15, SERC officially welcomed the public inside for the first time, hosting its inaugural open house at USC’s Information Sciences Institute in Marina del Rey. About 60 business leaders, entrepreneurs, and USC researchers and community members attended morning and afternoon sessions that offered a behind-the-scenes look at one of USC’s fastest-growing research centers.
