Presentation Transcript

  1. NASA Research at the University of Florida Materials Research Electrochemistry, Thermal Processing Turbine, Compressor, Combustor, Flow Actuator Research Aircraft and Space Structures Micro aerial vehicles Cryogenics R&T Software/Info Technology Astronomy MEMS devices, arrays Land Use/Management Plant growth studies, experiments Space Greenhouses Hydrogen Research for Space Space life support systems 3rd Generation RLV’s September 25, 2002

  2. NASA Research at Florida Strategy UF and the State of Florida are committed to greater involvement in Space R&T Signaled with Governor’s Bush commitment of $30M for the new Space Experiment Research and Processing Laboratory at KSC – UF role to develop a strong science program for conduct in SERPL FY 01 – Florida legislature earmarked $1M for UF/UCF FY 02 – Earmarked $1M again FY 03 – Anticipate trend to continue, but no guarantees

  3. NASA Research at Florida Strategy (cont’d) Select potential growth areas and pursue NASA, other opportunities Opportunities projected in: Reusable Launch Vehicles (new NASA, DOD funds) Astronomy (large % of NASA budget, many opportunities) Biotechnology to enable human missions Nanotechnologies for aerospace systems

  4. NASA Research at Florida Recent Growth* in NASA Funding Additions FY 00 $4.4M FY 01 $4.9M ESCSTC @$.5M FY 02 $15.35M Space Bio @ $4.75M RLV’s (URETI) @$3M H2 R&T @$2.7M * $ approx.

  5. NASA Research at Florida Growth Strategy (cont’d) UF Partnerships with other universities, a dominant theme Environmental & UCF, NCSU, UN….. Astronomy & UCF CREOL for telescope optics Biotech & USF, UM, FSU, UCF, FAMU 3rd Gen RLV’s & MSU, Cornell, GIT, Syracuse, NC A&T, Prairie View A&T Hydrogen R&T & USF, UWF…… KSC Engineering Research & et al
