Introduction – EdUCE Background InformationASTREC (Advanced Space Technologies Research & Engineering Center) was

S th i d t th h f d h i ifi t t h l

ASTREC (Advanced Space Technologies Research & Engineering Center) was established in 2008 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Industry/University Cooperative Research Center program.

Serves the space industry through focused research, significant technology transfer, and a strong educational program

Performs R&D activities, focused on advancing the state-of-the-art of small satellite systems thus enabling their capabilities and functionalitiessatellite systems, thus enabling their capabilities and functionalities R&D portfolio defined in collaboration with industry and government

partners to ensure relevance to the industry On-orbit technology verification and validation using pico/nano-satellites

EdUCE Value Proposition via NABC Customer Need

Who are our customers? Why should they be interested in using CubeSats for STEAM education?

H h h b fit th ? How can such an approach benefit them? Approach (or solution)

Develop interactive content for worldwide distribution Content delivery must be appropriate e.g., utilize an “apps” and “widget” -

based approach to introduce the space systems components Develop as an after-school program (no curriculum development)

B fit t

upup

Benefits per cost What problem is solved and at what cost? Is the cost justified and outcomes measurable and achievable?
