Collaborative Research: Advanced Space Technologies Research and Engineering Center

佛罗里达大学先进空间技术研究与工程中心I/UCRC全中心提案（第一阶段）；Norman Fitz-Coy 0832508北卡罗莱纳州立大学；该提案的目的是启动一个新的I/UCRC“先进空间技术研究与工程中心（ASTREC）”，该中心将开发先进空间技术所需的新知识、工具、硬件和人员。ASTREC将在佛罗里达大学（UF）和北卡罗莱纳州立大学（NCSU）这两个东南研究机构之间建立这个多大学合作项目。拟议的研究旨在通过进行多学科研究和为微/纳米级卫星的每个卫星子系统提供突破性技术来推进知识。由于对微型和纳米级卫星的关注，使得技术研究受到低功率、低质量和小体积的限制。通过设计-建造-飞行（DBF）的理念，中心？美国的研究任务是执行工业驱动的尖端研究，以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。拟议的工作很重要，因为它力求通过开发创新技术和流程来开发更灵活的空间资产。由于构成卫星的各种技术，中心涉及的是什么？美国的研究将来自工程、物理科学和生物科学。ASTREC的努力将为航天工业提供一类开发和制造成本更低的卫星，而不会在发射时技术过时。通过其DBF理念的成功，ASTREC将协助航天工业从风险不利设计向风险容忍设计转变。该中心计划通过从摇篮到坟墓的亲身体验，让K-20学生参与小卫星设计的各个方面，培养下一代“火箭科学家”。ASTREC有一个强有力的多元化计划，确保代表不足的群体在中心各级的参与。在促进弱势群体参与研究和教育方面的丰富经验将为该中心增加价值。

Full Center Proposal (Phase I) for an I/UCRC for Advanced Space Technologies Research and Engineering Center 0832517 University of Florida; Norman Fitz-Coy 0832508 North Carolina State University; William Edmonson The purpose of this proposal is to start a new I/UCRC "Advanced Space Technologies Research and Engineering Center (ASTREC)" that will develop new knowledge, tools, hardware, and personnel required for advanced space technologies. ASTREC will establish this multi-university collaboration between two research institutions in the southeast, University of Florida (UF) and North Carolina State University (NCSU). The proposed research aims at advancing knowledge by performing multidisciplinary research and providing breakthrough technologies in each of the satellite subsystems for pico/-nano-class of satellites. By focusing on small satellites of the pico- and nano-class drives the technology research to be constrained by low power, mass and volume. Through a Design-Build-Fly (DBF) philosophy, the center?s research mission 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. The proposed work is important because it seeks to develop more agile space assets through developing innovative technologies and processes. Due to the diverse technologies that make up a satellite, those involved in the center?s research will come from engineering, the physical sciences and biological sciences.The efforts of ASTREC will provide the space industry with a class of satellites that cost less to develop and build without becoming technologically dated at launch. Through the success of its DBF philosophy, ASTREC will assist in the transformation of the space industry from risk adverse towards risk tolerant design. The Center plans to engage K-20 students in all aspects of small satellite design through hands-on cradle-to-grave experience to create the next generation of "rocket scientists". ASTREC has a strong diversity plan that ensures the participation of underrepresented groups in all levels of the Center. Extensive experience in fostering participation of underrepresented in research and education will add value to the center.
