IIP 0968963University of Central FloridaLinThe University of Central Florida (UCF) plans to join the existing IUCRC for Advanced Small Satellite Technologies Research and Education Center (ASTREC) which currently is a multi- university center comprised of the University of Florida (lead institution) and North Carolina State University (NCSU). The research mission of the Center is to perform leading-edge research that is industry driven to produce technologically small satellites and components, which will be on-orbit validated and demonstrated.UCF plans to join the existing Advanced Small Satellite Technologies Research and Education Center (ASTREC). The capabilities of UCF will provide essential help to the ASTREC in terms of system engineering, ground station support, guidance, navigation, control algorithms, simulation and visualization. The collaboration between UCF and ASTREC will help advance the state-of-the-art techniques in small satellites as well as enhance the space related academic curriculum using realistic satellite projects. The research interests and experience of the UCF team both augment and complement very well the research activities and competencies already represented at the center.Successful participation of the UCF team in ASTREC will greatly increase the competition of the Florida space research capability, help in training a highly capable workforce, and attract more high value research and development. The proposed research at UCF will offer a wide spectrum of research opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students, in particular from women and minority students. The PIs also plan to work closely with the Office of Diversity Initiatives (ODI) and the Society of Women Engineering (SWE) to encourage minority and women students. The research and education activities that are promoted in this proposal would greatly help bring this about.

佛罗里达中部大学佛罗里达中部大学（UCF）计划加入现有的IUCRC先进小卫星技术研究与教育中心（ASTREC），该中心目前是由佛罗里达大学（牵头机构）和北卡罗来纳州立大学（NCSU）组成的多所大学中心。该中心的研究任务是进行前沿研究，由工业驱动，生产技术小型卫星和组件，这些卫星和组件将在轨道上进行验证和演示。UCF计划加入现有的先进小卫星技术研究和教育中心（ASTREC）。UCF的能力将在系统工程、地面站支持、制导、导航、控制算法、仿真和可视化方面为ASTREC提供必要的帮助。UCF和ASTREC之间的合作将有助于推进小卫星的最先进技术，并利用现实的卫星项目加强与空间有关的学术课程。UCF团队的研究兴趣和经验都很好地增强和补充了中心已经代表的研究活动和能力。UCF团队成功参与ASTREC将大大提高佛罗里达州空间研究能力的竞争力，有助于培养高素质的劳动力，并吸引更多高价值的研究和开发。UCF的拟议研究将为研究生和本科生，特别是女性和少数民族学生提供广泛的研究机会。这些学院还计划与多元化倡议办公室（ODI）和妇女工程学会（SWE）密切合作，鼓励少数族裔和女性学生。这项建议所提倡的研究和教育活动将极大地有助于实现这一目标。
