About this award

The University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research received a research grant valued at $545,528 from a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center, with an award date of October 25, 2021 and an ultimate completion date of October 24, 2026. This non-set-aside grant supports research addressing atmospheric pressure and composition considerations in the design and construction of spaceflight vehicles and extraterrestrial habitats. The research examines engineering trade-offs associated with maintaining pressure vessels at one atmosphere, a critical variable that has influenced spacecraft design decisions throughout spaceflight history and will continue to impact future vehicle development.

As a major public research university and 1862 land-grant institution, the University of Florida brings significant research capabilities and infrastructure to this federal research initiative. The work will be conducted in Gainesville, Florida, and represents part of the university's extensive portfolio of federally-funded research spanning aerospace, engineering, and scientific domains. The grant contributes to advancing fundamental knowledge in spacecraft and habitat engineering, supporting the university's collaborative efforts with federal agencies on complex technical challenges related to space exploration and human spaceflight systems.
