Record $6.2 million grant awarded to MSU's Jordan Valley Innovation Center
Abstract:
A record $6.2 million grant has been awarded to Missouri State University's Jordan Valley Innovation Center and its corporate partners Nantero Inc. (Woburn, Mass.) and Carbon Nanotechnologies Inc. (Houston, Texas) to develop carbon-based satellite components.
The award is from the Office of Naval Research for components - high-speed processing and control elements, specifically - that will be able to withstand the damaging threats of space, primarily electro-magnetic pulses, solar flares and cosmic radiation.
