Observatory from the very beginning; later, in 1881, the Society of
Sciences assumed responsibility for the operations, and official name

Institute began to prepare daily weather information for the newspapers

University of North Dakota - Department of Space Studies
Description: Human activity in space has drawn from a
multitude of skills and a broad knowledge base. To achieve
our goals in space, or even to become fully aware of the
possibilities, our scientists, engineers, business leaders
and policy makers must coordinate efforts and properly
allocate resources. This has proven to be very difficult due
to the conflicting motivations, procedures and "languages"
employed by these groups. The Department of Space Studies
works to give students a working knowledge of the overall
picture so they can become the scientists, engineers,
planners, managers, troubleshooters, negotiators and
communicators of the space community.
