KCSC Satellite
Volunteers
Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center volunteers are an integral part of the organization's daily operations. Without volunteers, the Cosmosphere would be unable to conduct the wide variety of programs and services now offered.
Cosmosphere volunteers are called "Satellites." These Satellites elect the following officers on an annual basis: President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. Satellites meet as a group approximately 4 times a year. All volunteers are encouraged to attend, as these meetings provide pertinent information to all volunteers.
