University Consortium for Space Research

Abstract

Expand the University Consortium for Space Research to address research needs unique to the USSF. Create Technology Institutes at universities focused on developing and delivering technology for critical USSF missions. Support development of the future space workforce. Build capacity for space research within higher education institutions. Accelerates the transition of fundamental research and early-stage technology development into integrated systems capable of aiding the national security space enterprise. The objective is to create key technology breakthroughs for USSF through Space Strategic Technology Institutes (SSTIs). The goal for each SSTI is to transition fundamental research and early-stage tech development into transformational research and technology development and demonstration capabilities within the space domain. Supports research, development, and demonstration; and educates and trains students for the future national security space workforce. Annual calls for specific technology areas will result in one or multiple contract awards.
