Space Iceland NextGen is a non-profit initiative based in Flateyri, fostering scientific literacy, aerospace STEM research, and high-altitude atmospheric exploration for students and young scientists across Iceland. Space Iceland NextGen eru frjáls félagasamtök í Flateyri sem efla vísindalæsi, STEM menntun í geimvísindum og háloftafjarkönnun fyrir nemendur og unga vísindamenn um allt Ísland.
Based in Hafnarstræti, Flateyri, Space Iceland NextGen is an officially registered non-governmental organization (Kennitala: 6509190410). We bridge geographic and educational divides across Iceland by making space science, astronomy, and atmospheric engineering accessible to young people. Með aðsetur í Hafnarstræti á Flateyri eru Space Iceland NextGen frjáls félagasamtök skráð á Íslandi (Kennitala: 6509190410). Við brúum bil í menntun með því að gera geimvísindi og stjörnufræði aðgengileg ungmennum.
To ignite curiosity in science, engineering, and Nordic satellite research among young individuals throughout Iceland regardless of location.
Establishing Iceland as an active incubator for future space researchers, Arctic satellite innovation, and STEM talent.
Scientific rigor, environmental responsibility in Arctic research, transparency, and equal access to STEM educational resources.
All programs strictly serve public educational benefit in Iceland.
Bringing hands-on satellite design kits, rocket physics demonstrations, and stargazing tools to schools across rural and urban Iceland.
Facilitating student-led experimental payload launches into the stratosphere to collect atmospheric data, radiation metrics, and imagery above Iceland.
Connecting Icelandic youth with international aerospace scientists, Nordic satellite initiatives, and global astronomical institutions.
Space Iceland NextGen operates in full compliance with Icelandic non-profit regulations and international non-governmental standards. We maintain strict financial disclosures, child safeguarding in education, and open audit reports.
Annual financial accounts are audited according to Icelandic non-profit accounting rules and published for complete donor transparency.
Strict safeguarding rules govern all our school visits, high-altitude balloon projects, and public observatory events.
All atmospheric and astronomical data generated through student initiatives are published as open-access resources for the scientific community.
Local youth gathered in Flateyri to learn telescope calibration, deep-sky observation techniques, and Northern Lights space weather physics.
