Networking is one of the most important (and fun) parts of pursuing a career in space. By networking with others who share these goals, you will discover many opportunities to create and collaborate on space-related projects in all avenues of spaceflight: human factors, payload develoment, materials science, astronomy, and more. You may even meet some fellow future astronauts with whom you work so well that you form a long-lasting working relationship and friendship in the pursuit of space.

Note: You do not, of course, have to join all of these organizations. Check each of them out and decide on one, two, or a few that best fit your specific goals and physical location (if applicable).

This list will be updated as needed. Note, these listings are alphabetical.
