How to break into aerospace without an aerospace degree

Most of the jobs on a rocket company's board aren't titled 'aerospace engineer.' Which degrees and backgrounds map onto them, and how to prove it.

Space internships and fellowships for 2027: real programs, real deadlines

NASA OSTEM and Pathways, SpaceX and Blue Origin, the Brooke Owens and Patti Grace Smith fellowships, and the Isakowitz scholarship. What's open, what closed, and who qualifies.

Concept illustration of mining equipment on a planetary surface

Portfolio projects that get interviews: rockets, ROS robots and CubeSats

Three project types that hardware recruiters recognize, how to scope each so you actually finish, and what to write up afterward.

Engineers lower the MOXIE instrument into Perseverance

Free courses and certifications that are actually worth your time

A short list, checked against what the jobs ask for: MIT OpenCourseWare, the official ROS 2 tutorials, NAR rocketry certification and the FAA mechanic route.

Robotics career paths: from ROS tutorials to humanoids, drones and rovers

The four kinds of robotics jobs that are actually hiring, the free material that teaches the core stack, and how a planetary rover career usually starts on Earth.

AI jobs at space companies: fewer than you'd think, and almost all senior

We counted every open posting at 11 space companies. About 2.6 percent had AI or machine learning in the title. Where they are and how to get one.
