The Coca-Cola Space Science Center is a division of Columbus State University and serves as an academic enrichment center and regional informal education institution. It is Georgia’s only science center and museum facility dedicated to providing experiences for students and public visitors in astronomy and space science, and it houses Georgia’s largest and most extensive collection of NASA Space Shuttle artifacts, valued at over $17 million, including a Space Shuttle Main Engine Nozzle that has flown to space on 9 NASA missions. The center’s computer server houses an internationally recognized supernova database for astronomical research.
The mission of the Coca-Cola Space Science Center is to inspire and educate the next generation of scientists, engineers, and science educators and communicators; to foster the public’s appreciation for science and technology; and to advance scientific literacy throughout the community. Community involvement includes serving walk-in visitors, K–12 school groups from across the region, corporate and community organizations, and the university community. The center also supports astronomy courses, student and faculty research, practicum experiences for education students, and paid learning opportunities for Columbus State University students, including operating the Omnisphere Theater, leading or assisting in K–12 educational activities, working in the gift shop, and helping point telescopes for Astronomy Nights.
