The grant from the Office of Naval Research will be used to develop carbon-based satellite components that will be able to withstand damaging electromagnetic pulses, solar flares and cosmic radiation encountered in space.
Ryan Giedd, JVIC executive director, will serve as principal investigator and chief technical contact for the grant, which is the largest research award ever given to MSU.
“This is a new, state-of-the-art technology that has never been developed or implemented anywhere in the world,” Giedd said in a news release. “We’re very excited for this opportunity.”
Project research will begin in late March or early April, coinciding with JVIC’s anticipated opening. Most of the research will be conducted in JVIC’s clean rooms and robotics laboratories.
