The Space Engineering Research Center (SERC) along with students from the Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) department have partnered with Citizens in Space, a project of the United States Rocket Academy, to build a payload integrator to be flown on the XCOR Lynx space plane. The Lynx Cub Payload Carrier, as it is known, will [...]
The Space Engineering Research Center (SERC) recently participated in a series of Zero Gravity (G) aircraft flights out of Ellington Field, Houston, Texas. These flights, sponsored by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), fly a parabolic flight profile to provide brief periods of weightlessness, that simulates the environment of space for both human and experimental [...]
The Space Engineering Research Center (SERC) recently participated in reduced gravity aircraft flights as part of the NASA Flight Opportunities Program. NASA Johnson Space Center led a team of researchers from TAMU-SERC, Jet Learning Laboratory, and Advanced Cooling Technologies to evaluate a gas-liquid separator (designed by SERC researchers) under microgravity conditions. Drs. Cable Kurwitz and [...]
