Collaborative Research: Advanced Small Satellite Technologies Research and Education Center (AS2TREC)

将举行一次规划会议，以确定是否将在北卡罗来纳州州立大学和佛罗里达大学建立一个新的多大学工业/大学先进小型卫星技术研究合作研究中心。 该中心将致力于将航天工业从目前的高成本和长时间的风险厌恶心态转变为以风险容忍为哲学的更快速响应和负担得起的行业。研究结果将为公司提供有关小型卫星生产和设计的许多问题的答案。 多所大学的参与提供了广泛的研究基础，可以显着增加研究人员，学生和公司与其他大学互动的经验。

A planning meeting will be held to determine if a new multi-university Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Advanced Small Satellite Technologies Research will be established at North Carolina State University and the University of Florida. The center will focus on the transformation of the space industry from current Risk Aversion mentality that results in high costs and long schedules to a more responsive, and affordable industry that has Risk Tolerant as its philosophy.The research results will provide companies with answers to many questions regarding the production and design of small satellites. The multi-university involvement provides a broad research base and can significantly increase the experience of researchers, students, and companies interacting with other universities.
