Center for
Science, Technology and
Advanced Research in Space
C-STARS goal is to establish a consortium of space researchers at UF, develop new platforms for research in space biomanufacturing and train the next generation of space scientists
Center for Science, Technology and Advanced Research in Space (C-STARS) will be a multidisciplinary research hub with the mission to support and serve the growing sector in space manufacturing as well as train the next generation of workers in space technologies, sciences, and exploration. C-STARS will bring together universities, industries, and the Florida Spaceport to transform access to the space environment and develop innovative, on-demand, in situ space manufacturing capabilities in biopharma, microelectronics, payload hardware solutions, and launch processing and recycling.
C-STARS will address the following areas of Space Manufacturing
including...
Space Manufacturing Innovation Hub
Space manufacturing has emerged as a promising field that seeks to leverage the unique conditions and resources available in space to improve human health. With several collaborations between space agencies, research institutions, and private companies, space has become a hub for pioneering advancements in medicine, biotechnology, and materials science. From manufacturing drugs to tissue engineering, the potential applications are vast.
