FDSS: Virginia Tech Space Science Initiative

一个专门从事高层大气电动力学、化学和等离子体物理实验研究的初级教师得到了支助。 学生支持是从弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学的技术熟练的学生群体实现的。 空间科学研究生学位授予计划是在空间物理学三个研究生水平课程的课程增加后建立的。 这一师资力量的增强，沿着既定的成员，如果弗吉尼亚理工学院在国家航空航天研究所建立了一个新的国际领导者在空间科学教育和研究，特别强调在空间科学的种族和性别多样性。

A junior faculty specializing in experimental studies of upper atmospheric electrodynamics, chemistry and plasma physics is supported. Student support is realized from the technically proficient student population at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. A graduate degree granting program in Space Science is established following curriculum augmentation of three graduate level classes in Space Physics. This faculty augmentation, along with the established membership if Virginia polytechnic Institute in the National Institute of Aerospace establishes a new international leader in Space Science education and research with particular emphasis placed upon ethnic and gender diversity in the Space Sciences.
