About our work:

The project  – conducted in collaboration with NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC), aims to conduct innovative research and education in support of NASA Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD). The research and education efforts to be pursued in two integrated areas of interest to STMD: Sustainable Power Generation and Secure Distribution Systems for NASA’s Artemis missions.

Project Objectives:

Objective 1 : Build research capacity at FIU in Sustainable Power Generation and Secure Distribution Systems for NASA in support of the Artemis missions.

Objective 2 : Engage and train FIU students in NASA-related research toward building their readiness to join the STEM and NASA workforce.

Objective 3 : Increase FIU’s capacity to participate in NASA Space Technology Mission Directorate opportunities.

The project is organized in three cores: Research, Education and Collaboration & Sustainability.
