The '''Magistracy Aerospace Academy''' was a [[Magistracy of Canopus]] aerospace academy.<ref name="FR2765:Pp8">''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 8, "Academies and Command Centers"</ref>

== History ==
The Magistracy Aerospace Academy or MAA was one of two aerospace academies to be founded by the Magistracy of Canopus during the [[Star League era]]. The MAA began operating in [[2730]], as did the other aerospace-focused academy, the [[Magistracy Institute for Strategic Studies]]; while the Magistracy Institute for Strategic Studies focused on training [[WarShip]] crews, the MAA specialized in aerospace personnel.<ref name="FR2765:Pp8"/>

The MAA was founded in the [[ Marantha]] system for several reasons; firstly, the Marantha system was already home to an extensive civilian spacecraft industry. Secondly, the Marantha system had a large asteroid belt, which was considered ideal for performing avoidance training, and lastly, the asteroid belt was home to a substantial [[Belter]] population.<ref name="FR2765:Pp8"/>

== Training ==
Military courses offered by MAA were known to include a comprehensive aerospace program.<ref name="FR2765:Pp8"/>

== Notes ==
* The MAA is not detailed in any sourcebook covering events after the Star League era, suggesting that it was disabled, destroyed or shut down during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]].
