 |
|
The NASA Puerto Rico Space Grant Consortium (PRSGC) enhances local research and education capabilities in NASA-related fields and contributes to the Nation's Science and Technology enterprise by capitalizing on the institutional and human capital available on the Island.
PRSGC resides in the Resource Center for Science and Engineering, with the Central Administration of the University of Puerto Rico as the Lead Institution and 14 public and private affiliate institutions.
The Consortium implements a research and education agenda relevant to Puerto Rico and NASA and disseminates knowledge about the NASA mission and the associated opportunities available for students, teachers, professors and researchers. By improving the quality and relevance of research and education on the Island, PRSGC helps expand and nurture a diversified and sophisticated workforce capable of contributing to meeting the needs of our Nation. |

Cube Satellite Project |
|
|
|
PR NASA Space Grant invites students and faculty to participate in the new Cube Satellite Project (CubeSat).
Fifteen students and five faculty members will be selected to design, build, test, and track a CubeSat. Five teams will established in five different academic institutions in PR to work on different subcomponents of the device. Principles of systems engineering will be applied to ensure that the subcomponents come together into a functional satellite. The CubeSat is planned for an orbital launch opportunity that is expected to become available around 2012.

My Showlist Wheels Installed On Curiosity Originally taken in July 2010, this photo shows NASA engineers installing six wheels on the Curiosity rover. NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Project will launch Curiosity on Saturday, Nov. 26. Curiosity is scheduled for arrival at Mars in August 2012. http://prsgc.upr.edu/images/daygallery/606391main_image_feature_2115_800-600.jpg Three Generations of Rovers with Crouching Engineers Two spacecraft engineers join a grouping of vehicles providing a comparison of three generations of Mars rovers developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. The setting is JPL's Mars Yard testing area. http://prsgc.upr.edu/images/daygallery/616900main_rover_comparison1600_800-600.jpg Blue Marble A 'Blue Marble' image of the Earth taken from the VIIRS instrument aboard NASA's most recently launched Earth-observing satellite - Suomi NPP. This composite image uses a number of swaths of the Earth's surface taken on January 4, 2012. The NPP satellite was renamed 'Suomi NPP' on January 24, 2012 to honor the late Verner E. Suomi of the University of Wisconsin. http://prsgc.upr.edu/images/daygallery/618482main_earth1600_800-600.jpg Orion Ground Test Vehicle Arrives at Kennedy The Orion Ground Test Vehicle arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center Operations & Checkout (O&C) Facility on April 21. The vehicle traveled more than 1,800 miles from Lockheed Martin's Waterton Facility near Denver, Colo., where it successfully completed a series of rigorous acoustic, modal and vibration tests that simulated launch and spaceflight environments. http://prsgc.upr.edu/images/daygallery/643025main_image_2234_800-600.jpg Testing the Webb Telescope Several critical items related to NASA's next-generation James Webb Space Telescope currently are being tested in the thermal vacuum test chamber at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. http://prsgc.upr.edu/images/daygallery/643912main_image_2237_800-600.jpg Pink Opaque An extraordinary outburst produced by a black hole in a nearby galaxy has provided direct evidence for a population of old, volatile stellar black holes. The discovery, made by astronomers using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, provides new insight into the nature of a mysterious class of black holes that can produce as much energy in X-rays as a million suns radiate at all wavelengths. http://prsgc.upr.edu/images/daygallery/644118main_image_2238_800-600.jpg SpaceX and NASA Prepare for Launch In a processing facility at Space Launch Complex-40 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, Space Exploration Technologies technicians attach the Dragon capsule to the second stage of the company’s Falcon 9 rocket. Known as SpaceX, the launch will be the company's second demonstration test flight for NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services program, or COTS. http://prsgc.upr.edu/images/daygallery/644846main_spaceXdragon_1600_800-600.jpg
