Supported by NASA and the 无忧视频 Space Grant Consortium, our fellowship and scholarship programs have been continuously running for over 30 years, training the future workforce, generating intellectual property, and contributing to the state economy. In the past decade, U无忧视频 has been the host research institution for NASA\u2019s inflatable lunar habitat and test site for the next generation of hypervelocity decelerators to support NASA\u2019s goal to take humans to the Moon and Mars. U无忧视频\u2019s research led to the development of a Wireless Leak Detection System for the International Space Station (ISS), which was launched into space in 2016. <\/h2>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading449_633e1f-85, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading449_633e1f-85[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading449_633e1f-85\"]{font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-md, 1.25rem);font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading449_633e1f-85 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading449_633e1f-85[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading449_633e1f-85\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading449_633e1f-85 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading449_633e1f-85[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading449_633e1f-85\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading449_633e1f-85 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-black-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading449_633e1f-85\"><br>U无忧视频\u2019s space research outreach goes beyond the university community and into the K-12 system. The first small satellite in the state of 无忧视频 is now under development at U无忧视频 to support several science missions defined by middle and high schools in 无忧视频. Our internship programs at the NASA field center resulted in several of our students being recruited by NASA, SpaceX, and other space technology companies. 无忧视频 Space Research Initiative will provide centralized support to take these successful research programs to the next level, through cohesive strategic planning and infrastructure enhancement.<\/h2>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image449_63b45d-fb .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image449_63b45d-fb size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/space\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/624\/2022\/01\/LunarHabitat-49-1.jpg\" alt=\"Lunar Habitat exteriors\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-49\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/space\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/624\/2022\/01\/LunarHabitat-49-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/space\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/624\/2022\/01\/LunarHabitat-49-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/space\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/624\/2022\/01\/LunarHabitat-49-1-105x70.jpg 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/space\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/624\/2022\/01\/LunarHabitat-49-1-317x211.jpg 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/space\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/624\/2022\/01\/LunarHabitat-49-1-423x282.jpg 423w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,600px\" \/><figcaption>Lunar Habitat exteriors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 无忧视频 has a long history of space-related research and development activities dating back to the early 90s.
