Renovation of Communications and Space Sciences Laboratory

9313542 McMurtry通信和空间科学实验室（CSSL）在宾夕法尼亚州立大学是电气和计算机工程系的一部分。 该实验室的研究活动范围从基于航天飞机的大气中臭氧和一氧化氯观测到基于火箭的平流层和中间层的现场测量，再到这些相同区域的地面激光雷达测量。 许多这些活动需要国家的最先进的电子仪器的设计，建造，并在CSSL测试。 授予宾夕法尼亚州立大学的这一奖项将使实验室空间现代化，以促进航天器级硬件的设计和开发。 通过改善环境条件，这些实验室将成为从事全球气候变化基础研究问题的教师和学生所接受的实验室。 还将安装一个10,000级软墙洁净室，为飞行硬件的组装提供适当的条件。 该项目将更好地促进研究和培训研究地球大气层的学生。 ***

9313542 McMurtry The Communications and Space Science Laboratory (CSSL) at the Pennsylvania State University is part of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. The research activities of this lab range from shuttle-based observations of ozone and chlorine monoxide in the atmosphere to rocket-based in situ measurements of the stratosphere and mesosphere to ground-based lidar measurements of these same regions. Many of these activities require state-of- the-art electronic instrumentation which is designed, constructed, and tested at CSSL. This award to Penn State University will allow the modernization of lab spaces to facilitate the design and development of spacecraft-rated hardware. By improving environmental conditions, the labs will become acceptable to both faculty and students alike who are doing research on basic research problems about global climate change. A class 10,000 softwall clean room will also be installed to provide the proper conditions for the assembly of flight hardware. This project will better enable research and the training of students studying the earth's atmosphere. ***
