Summer Science Program
The Summer Science Program (SSP) is an academic summer program where high school students experience college-level education and do research in celestial mechanics by studying the orbits of asteroids. The program was established in 1959 at The Thacher School in Ojai, California, and now takes place at two locations: New Mexico Tech in Socorro, New Mexico, and Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California (northwest of Los Angeles).

The vapours weep their burthen to the ground,
Man comes and tills the field and lies beneath,
And after many a summer dies the swan.”
