UCD has today launched C-Space, the UCD Centre for Space Research, which will be a first-of-its-kind dedicated hub of excellence for interdisciplinary collaborative space-related research, innovation and education in Ireland.
By building on nationally leading projects such as EIRSAT-1, Ireland’s first satellite, C-Space aims to be a key national resource for space expertise and training.
The centre will focus on current key space research themes, in which UCD has established leadership, including Astrophysics, Earth Observation, Gamma-ray Detectors, Nanosatellites and Payloads, Space Materials and Space Structure Dynamics and Control.
