UMass Lowell And Space Centre Australia Formalize Research Partnership

Published by Lowell Sun:

In a ceremony held at University Crossing, the Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology (LoCSST) at UMass Lowell and Space Centre Australia formalized a research agreement. The five-year AeroLabs Science Consortium Agreement fosters collaboration on airborne science, low-Earth orbit research, and horizontal launch innovation.

UML Chancellor Julie Chen characterized the partnership as "another exciting element of the Lowell Innovation Network Corridor." She emphasized that space exploration offers numerous opportunities, inspiring new possibilities. Chen highlighted the agreement's potential to engage students and faculty in environmental monitoring, low-Earth observation, and suborbital flights.

The consortium's centerpiece is a repurposed C-130J-30 Super Hercules aircraft, designated SCA01. This National-Class Airborne Science and Horizontal Launch Platform will support multidisciplinary missions in environmental monitoring, atmospheric science, LEO technology validation, and sub-orbital flight experimentation. Space Centre Australia President and CEO James Palmer underscored the importance of transforming theory into reality.

He noted that the partnership will create a platform for pooling resources, bringing together experts to tackle complex challenges. The agreement marks a significant milestone in the collaboration between UMass Lowell and Space Centre Australia. This partnership has the potential to drive innovation and advancement in space research.
