Space Age South Dakota

28m 46s

South Dakota places and people have been a part of space exploration since the very beginning of the Space Age. Some would even say the the Space Age began with 1930s balloon flights launched from the Black Hills. South Dakotans have been involved in aerospace engineering and astrophysics ever since. Career opportunities in space-related fields in South Dakota are supported and growing.
