OUR LEAD ORGANIZATION

The Great Lunar Expedition for Everyone (GLEE) is part of the Colorado Space Grant Consortium (COSGC) experience. Students enrolled at the University of Colorado Boulder are able to participate in cutting edge space projects right at the Headquarters of COSGC.

This project was developed and created by the Colorado Space Grant Consortium.
