About

The Space Science and Engineering Laboratory at Montana State University is an interdisciplinary center of expertise with faculty, staff and facilities for space research and space technologies. The laboratory enables students and faculty in the science and engineering disciplines to conduct space science research through the development of space hardware instrumentation. SSEL was started under the auspices of the Physics Department at MSU in November, 2000. SSEL strengthens existing programs at MSU in solar-terrestrial physics, microelectronics, optical mechanisms, composite and ultra-light structures, bio-films and remote sensing.
