AFIT’s Center for Space Research and Assurance to Host Open House
The Air Force Institute of Technology has environmental testing facilities capable of fully space-qualifying flight hardware. A thermal vacuum chamber with a simulator capable of A0 light is shown in the image. The Center for Space Research and Assurance has used the chamber to space-qualify a 6U CubeSat bus, or a space vehicle designed to carry a variety of different mission payloads to support hands-on student education and research. DoD collaborators have also used the technology to qualify space hardware. CSRA’s open house, July 17-18, 2019, will give attendees the opportunity to tour the CSRA labs and learn about the Center’s graduate and post graduate degree programs. (Courtesy photo)
AFIT’s Center for Space Research and Assurance to Host Open House
The Concept Laser M2 cusing 3D metal printer is used by students from the Air Force Institute of Technology’s Center for Space Research and Assurance for studying 3D printed structures, including satellite chasses and rocket nozzles, to determine their suitability for space-based applications. The printer is able to produce parts that have the same structural integrity of traditionally manufactured parts while reducing their weight. Further mechanical, material, and vibrational testing can also be completed. CSRA’s open house, July17-18, 2019, will give attendees the opportunity to tour the CSRA labs and learn about the Center’s graduate and post graduate degree programs. (Courtesy photo)

DoD’s SpaceX Falcon Heavy Launch to host AFIT’s Space Object Self-Tracker
The Air Force Institute of Technology’s Space Object Self-Tracker is a self-sufficient, low-cost, low-weight, and low-power experimental payload designed to demonstrate precise tracking capabilities for future Space Situational Awareness and Space Traffic Management. AFIT’s Center for Space Research and Assurance designed, manufactured and tested the payload. The very first Department of Defense SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket will launch the hosted payload from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on June 24, 2019. (Contributed photo)
