Giron Space Organisation, GSO
GSO was founded the 12 of April 2021 by four of the student projects at LTU’s Kiruna Space Campus.
The purpose of GSO is to support these projects in their current and future endeavors. This includes deepening the collaboration between the projects, providing a platform for sponsorship opportunities, and helping students and projects to meet each other. The goal of GSO is to facilitate and drive future iterations of the current projects, allowing them to expand and improve. Since projects usually last longer than most of the study programs at the Space Campus, GSO becomes an important part in integrating the new students into projects.
