The mission of space science is to provide basic research, training, and educational development in the field of space science and engineering using a comprehensive approach to theoretical modeling, advanced simulation techniques, space system design and tools, and the collection, analysis, and interpretation of experimental data. The space science program includes all disciplines that include space exploration, natural and artificial phenomena in space. A key component for us is space weather, which is a set of physical processes starting from the sun (such as solar flares and corona masses) that create effects in the geospatial environment (such as aurora borealis, increased radiation, and electric fields) that occur in Ultimately, it affects human activities on Earth and in space (eg, navigation and communication anomalies, power outages, spacecraft damage, etc.). Space science involves the development and application of technologies that support space exploration and use. This includes space mission design, remote sensing and on-site measurements, spacecraft structures and subsystems, ground stations, orbital solutions, guidance and navigation. Space science and engineering are areas of synergy and mutual support. This knowledge is obtained through the development of technology and application. Thus, space science as a postgraduate degree enables students to develop the knowledge needed to understand the environment and climate of space and to develop advanced tools and technologies for the study of space, space exploration, and other related industries. With the support of these experiences, with a strong master´s degree program in space science and technology, students are prepared for jobs in the space industry, government laboratories, and academic and knowledge-based institutions
