Renovation of Communications and Space Sciences Laboratory

宾夕法尼亚州立大学的通信与空间科学实验室（CSSL）是电气与计算机工程系的一部分。该实验室的研究活动范围从利用航天飞机对大气中的臭氧和一氧化氯进行观测，到利用火箭对平流层和中间层进行现场测量，再到利用地面激光雷达对这些区域进行测量。许多这些活动都需要在CSSL设计、建造和测试的最先进的电子仪器。这份授予宾夕法尼亚州立大学的合同将允许实验室空间的现代化，以促进航天器级硬件的设计和开发。通过改善环境条件，实验室将被从事有关全球气候变化的基础研究问题的教师和学生所接受。还将安装一个10000级的洁净室，为飞行硬件的组装提供适当的条件。这个项目将更好地促进研究和培养研究地球大气层的学生。＊＊＊

9313542 McMurtry The Communications and Space Science Laboratory (CSSL) at the Pennsylvania State University is part of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. The research activities of this lab range from shuttle-based observations of ozone and chlorine monoxide in the atmosphere to rocket-based in situ measurements of the stratosphere and mesosphere to ground-based lidar measurements of these same regions. Many of these activities require state-of- the-art electronic instrumentation which is designed, constructed, and tested at CSSL. This award to Penn State University will allow the modernization of lab spaces to facilitate the design and development of spacecraft-rated hardware. By improving environmental conditions, the labs will become acceptable to both faculty and students alike who are doing research on basic research problems about global climate change. A class 10,000 softwall clean room will also be installed to provide the proper conditions for the assembly of flight hardware. This project will better enable research and the training of students studying the earth's atmosphere. ***
