UCF Receives Grant for Students to Create Innovative Space Technology
UCF will develop and create innovative technology to support NASA’s Artemis program. The university was one of seven awarded a $500,000 grant by NASA’s Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) Space Technology Artemis Research, or M-STAR initiative because it’s a Hispanic Serving Institution, meaning a quarter of its student population are Hispanic. UCF faculty and students who are experts in engineering, physics and medicine will work together to develop scientific and educational efforts in robotics; materials for extreme environments; and entry, descent and landing technologies.
