CELEBRATES 60 YEARS
in more than a dozen projects that include air
and space traffic control considerations for
commercial space; human factors in spacecraft
design; and measuring thunderstorm electrical
parameters to help reduce incidents of weatherrelated
delays and scrubs.
The school even boasts space royalty among
its faculty. Florida Tech professor emeritus
and retired Capt. Winston Scott was a mission
specialist aboard space shuttle Endeavour in 1996
and Columbia in 1997, logging 24 days, 14 hours
and 34 minutes in space. His three spacewalks
totaled 19 hours and 26 minutes.
Working together with leaders in the space
industry, the school will continue that intrinsic
connection with the heavens that Keuper formed
more than six decades ago.
“Florida Tech is an ideal partner for the agencies
and organizations that are ushering in a new
era for the industry of space, a time of extensive
competition and rapid innovation,” Carvalho said.
“As a research collaborator, we offered
unparalleled agility and expertise. Moreover,
we strengthen these companies’ workforces by
providing a steady stream of the most employable
engineering and science graduates in the country.”
Florida Tech’s proximity to Brevard’s beautiful beaches drew students who were eager to both
reach the stars ... and catch a few good waves.
