The University of Arizona's new Mission Integration Lab will allow researchers to build and test hardware for balloon-borne astronomy.
David Wichner University of Arizona space scientists have a new place to ready mission packages for high-altitude balloon flights, with the opening of the school’s Mission Integration Lab on Tucson’s south side.
The UA must expand its research infrastructure to maintain its ranking among the top schools in the nation for space sciences, said Jeff Kingsley, associate director of the UA’s Steward Observatory. Among the current UA projects using the new lab is the Galactic/Extragalactic ULDB Spectroscopic Terahertz Observatory, or GUSTO, a $35-million, NASA-funded long-duration balloon mission planned for launch from Antarctica next year.
The UA is investing $4.75 million in the Mission Integration Lab, which will be used by researchers across campus and help attract corporations looking to advance their tech through public-private partnerships.
