2024-epscor-0002 additive manufacturing of planar metasurfaces for cloaking and decoupling of printed antennas and phased antenna arrays

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center awarded the University of Mississippi a $750,000 cooperative agreement on October 1, 2025, under the Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) program (CFDA 43.008) to support additive manufacturing of planar metasurfaces for cloaking and decoupling of printed antennas and phased antenna arrays. The award runs through September 30, 2028, with place of performance in University, Mississippi.

Mississippi State University receives a sub-award under this cooperative agreement to conduct research on additive manufacturing of planar metasurfaces for antenna systems. The Office of STEM Engagement seeks to attract students to STEM through unique learning opportunities that spark interest and provide connections to NASA's mission, and to build the next generation STEM workforce by broadening pathways to STEM fields and increasing the capability and size of the nation's future STEM workforce.
