Future generation development is one the priority areas for SRL. With the development of society and economy, space science and technology has an important role in our daily life, as mankind benefits from it and relies on it. Cultivating the younger generation's interest in space science and technology and developing potential future space leaders is envisaged in this regard. SRL has organized several prestigious activities and plans to continue with similar activities in the future as a continuous set of Science School.
1- Space Museum & Satellite Mockup
A satellite or "artificial moon" refers to a device placed in a specific orbit by a space launcher to perform missions, orbiting the Earth or other planets. Satellites receive analog and digital signals on a radio frequency, amplify them, and beam them back to Earth. Due to these advantages, cultivating the younger generation's interest in space technology is crucial. SRL has developed several satellite mockups and space models for educational outreach.
2- School Space Laboratory
To expand aerospace education, SRL has established and equipped a dedicated "School Space Laboratory" in the Amir Kabir Research Center (Region 3, Tehran). This lab provides high school and middle school students with hands-on tools to design, build, and test small satellite systems, vacuum chambers, and educational simulators, bridging the gap between theoretical physics and real-world space engineering.
3- School General Sessions
SRL conducts short-term training and promotional general sessions in schools across the country. These interactive sessions introduce space exploration, cubesat systems, and orbital mechanics to students, triggering interest in science and technology careers.

4- Einstein Schools International Project
The IAU Einstein Schools project encourages an understanding of gravity in modern astronomy through exciting topics like gravitational waves, space-time, and gravitational lensing. SRL, under the Interdisciplinary Astronomy and Space (IAS) research group, is the official organizer of this project in Iran. We organize school workshops, scientific lectures, and robotic telescope observations, connecting local classrooms with international astronomy programs.
