  • University of Central Florida Is First to Conduct Microgravity Research Via Nanoracks on ISS, and in Suborbital Space, Via Blue Origin
    University of Central Florida is First to Conduct Microgravity Research via NanoRacks on ISS, and in suborbital space, via Blue Origin April 13, 2016-Webster, TX—Researchers at the University of Central Florida (UCF) have become the first- ever team to experiment on both NanoRacks’ commercial research lab onboard the International Space Station (ISS) and in suborbital space on Blue Origin’s New Shepard space vehicle. The UCF team, lead by physics professor and Assistant Director of the Florida Space Institute, Dr. Josh Colwell, is conducting this in-space research as part of a broad research program to understand the early stages of planet formation, the surfaces of asteroids, and the evolution of planetary rings. NanoRocks, an experiment launched via NanoRacks on SpaceX-4 in 2014, has been studying particle collisions to better understand how developing planets get from just centimeters across to much larger objects, known as planetesimals, which are able to gravitationally attract to each other and form full size planets. NanoRocks was a winner of the Space Florida ISS Research Competition, and is now scheduled to return to Earth on SpaceX-8 Dragon. COLLIDE, launched on Blue Origin’s fourth mission, explores phenomena that are masked or suppressed by Earth’s gravity. In free-fall, UCF is able to explore collisions such as those in the early stages of planet formation, and the behavior of space dust on small asteroids and moons that have a much weaker gravitational pull than Earth. NanoRacks is thrilled to be involved with Dr. Colwell’s team as a flagship program exploring long term- microgravity exposure on ISS, and hopes to be involved with the team as they continue to explore in suborbital and orbital space.

    Space Transportation Infrastructure Matching Fund Program Information & Resources For Projects Starting Florida Fiscal Year 2023 – 2027 (July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2027) 1 Introduction 2 Tentative Schedule 3 Goals & Objectives 4 Statutory Requirements and Policy Mandates 5 Definitions 6 Project Eligibility Memo 1 Introduction The Space Transportation Infrastructure Matching Fund Application is used to solicit proposals to continue the development of space transportation infrastructure that supports Space Florida’s legislative intent and Florida spaceport territory master plans. Space Florida is designated in section 331.3011(3), Florida Statutes, to be the “single point of contact for state aerospace-related activities with federal agencies, the military, state agencies, businesses, and the private sector.” Space Florida will use the qualifying applications to develop a proposed list of spaceport discretionary capacity improvement projects for submission to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Priorities are based on the 2018 Florida Spaceport System Plan, which reflects a sustainability framework to guide public and private investment into Florida’s emerging and growing aerospace sector. Like other transportation modes, FDOT encourages spaceports to use Spaceport Improvement Program funds for projects that ensure financial sustainability and place a priority on projects that are common use and used by multiple partners. Prioritized spaceport projects may be included in the FDOT five-year work program of transportation improvement projects. The application is mandatory before Space Florida can prioritize candidate projects for available funding. Projects are evaluated primarily on the following characteristics and applicants should address these items in their narrative: 1. Long term commitment to the State of Florida 2.
