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立大学和佛罗里达大学建立一个新的多大学先进小卫星技术研究产业/大学合作研究中心。该中心将专注于航天产业的转型，从目前导致成本高、进度长的避险心态，向反应更灵敏、负担得起、以风险容忍为理念的产业转型。研究成果将为企业提供有关小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，可以显著增加研究人员、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.
