THE BOWIE STATE SATELLITE OPERATION AND CONTROL CENTER
Director: Todd Watson

The Bowie State University Satellite Operation and Control Center (BSOCC) is a joint venture between
Bowie State University and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. This unique program features a
student training facility and NASA control center located on the Bowie State University campus.

Under the supervision of professionals, students take part in the daily work of spacecraft flight
operations, earning several different levels of mission controller certification.

Through BSOCC, the university has developed outreach activities that raise community awareness
in aeronautics and space technology. As students participate in the monitoring satellites, they receive
opportunities to study and pursue careers in new science and technology fields.

For additional information on the program contact BSOCC at (301) 860-3879.

MILITARY SCIENCE
Chair: Lieutenant Colonel Joel W. Thomas II

MISSION
The Army ROTC Program provides college men and women training and experiences in the art of
organizing, motivating, and leading others. This Program develops self-discipline, physical stamina,
and personal bearing that contribute to success in any career. The first two years of military
training in the Reserve Officer Training Corps are strictly voluntary for any student who is a United
States citizen. An individual taking these ROTC courses incurs absolutely no obligation to future
military service. These two years comprise the basic course, which is normally completed during
the freshman and sophomore years.

Students who decide to pursue a career in Military Science during their freshman year, will be
contracted and attend the four-week ROTC Cadet Initial Entry Training at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
Students who decide to join after their freshman year will attend the ROTC Cadet Initial Entry Training
in lieu of completing the freshman and sophomore ROTC courses.
