Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES)

The Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES) is a Hawaii state agency that develops and tests technologies for space exploration, particularly systems relevant to planetary surface operations and in-situ resource utilization. PISCES conducts research on the Big Island's volcanic terrain, which serves as an analog for lunar and Martian environments, and partners with NASA, other space agencies, and private companies. It also runs STEM education programs to build Hawaii's aerospace workforce pipeline.

PISCES brings high-tech research jobs and federal and private investment to Hawaii while positioning 該州 as a hub for the growing space economy. Students and researchers interested in aerospace careers can engage with PISCES through its internship and educational outreach programs.
