Space Minute features former Astronaut and Faculty Member of the Florida Institute of Technology, Captain Winston Scott.  The PSA segments were produced, broadcasted and featured on the University's radio station WFIT's website and social media networks. The Public Service Announcements were also distributed to the Florida Public Broadcasting Network which consists of 13 public radio stations statewide. 

The objective of this project was to produce a Space Minutes PSA series that would increase awareness of the Space industry and the myriad of technological innovations it continues to inspire on a global basis.   Space Minutes were crafted with the goal of highlighting the University's wide ranging expertise, the broad scope of space technology being developed by the campus community and the hands on opportunities available to FL Tech students.
