The Astraeus Administrator Council comprises leaders of Departments, Centers, and Institutes with connections to space-related research. The role of the Council is to provide additional perspective as an advisory group to Astraeus Administration and to help represent space-related interests of their respective faculty and staff. In addition, the Administrator Council can help identify resources and opportunities that would benefit their units, as well as how the expertise represented within their units can benefit the larger Astraeus community.
