UConn to be one of the few universities in the country with the capability to do research in space

The University of Connecticut and Voyager Technologies are expanding their philanthropic partnership valued at more than $1 million, opening access to in-space research environments for UConn faculty and students. This partnership places UConn among a select group of institutions nationwide with the ability to conduct active research in space.

Through this partnership, UConn faculty and students will design and deploy research projects that leverage the unique conditions of space, including near-term experiments aboard the International Space Station and future opportunities through Voyager’s Starlab commercial space station.

“This expanded partnership places UConn at the forefront of discovery in a rapidly advancing domain,” says UConn President Radenka Maric. “By enabling research in space, we are unlocking new possibilities for innovation in areas critical to our future, from advanced materials to quantum technologies.”
