Windward Community College is a NASA Center of Excellence in the Training and Applications of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System to Environmental Monitoring. Under direction of Principal Investigator, Joseph Ciotti, and co-PIs David Krupp and Floyd McCoy, the Hoa'aina RS/GIS Center supports WCC's academic emphasis in the marine, earth, and space sciences. Students receive training and engage in research in environmental monitoring through the use of the facility's state-of-the-art equipment in remote sensing (RS), geographic information system (GIS), and global positioning system (GPS).

The Windward Community College Radio Observatory, operating as part of NASA's Radio Jove project, receives radio noise bursts from the planet Jupiter and from the Sun.
Live streaming audio can be downloaded.

Four WCC students participated in the 2000 NASA Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunities Program.

Additional educational resources and activities for grades K-12 and the community are available in The Aerospace Exploration Lab.

Windward Community College is also participating in the CanSat engineering program. CanSat is a scientific experiment package, the size of a soda can and commonly launched by weather balloon or small rocket, designed to retrieve photo-graphic, temperature, pressure, and altitude data for near-Earth low-atmosphere experiments. The CanSat students from the different campuses have been working together and participated in the September 2006 ARLISS (A Rocket Launch for Interna-tional Student Satellites) competition in Nevada. For more information on the WCC CanSat team, please contact Dr. Jacob Hudson at jacobh@hawaii.edu.
