Space Sciences

See your ideas launch into space!

bv伟德ios下载空间科学计划为美国宇航局和商业伙伴开发有效载荷实验. 学生设计、建造并在商业抛物线和亚轨道飞行中进行实验. 我们的研究跨越了物理学和工程学的边界，并支持对太空微重力环境下流体特性的研究.

我们招收物理和计算机科学专业的学生，但没有特定的专业要求. 从高中生到大学高年级学生，各个层次的学生都参加了这个项目. 成功的团队通常拥有在以下一个或多个领域具有优势的学生:软件设计/编程, hardware, CAD, electronics, physics, and math.

Team up with NASA

在bv伟德ios下载攻读空间科学研究的学生有非凡的机会与美国宇航局合作. The College collaborates on research with the NASA Johnson Space Center and the NASA Flight Opportunities Program Universal Payload Interface Challenge (UPIC). 

Test your experiments on zero-gravity flights

我们在做实验的同时，坐着一架从空中坠落的抛物线形飞机向地球俯冲, 为研究人员和他们的实验创造短暂的失重状态. 我们还通过商业亚轨道火箭，甚至是飞往月球的宇宙飞船，将我们的研究送入太空!

Participate in aerospace research

学生在项目管理和系统工程方面学习和实施航空航天工业实践, while honing scientific research skills. 我们与NASA、空客、Intuitive Machines等外部利益相关者合作. 我们空间科学实验室的每个项目都是外部资助的，要求学生直接与赞助商合作, manage budget, inventory, procurement, participate in and lead design reviews, design testing and verification procedures, and analyze data.

We develop and use technical skills like CAD, software design, embedded systems, thermal modeling, computational fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, and multiphysics modeling. 我们的学生为在工业界工作或继续在研究生院进行研究做好了广泛的准备.
