At the Forefront of Space Exploration<\/h3>\n

UCF’s space systems research explores the unknowns of our planetary systems and the cosmos. Inspired by the late physicist Stephen Hawking, UCF researchers strive to unravel the universe’s mysteries. The Stephen W. Hawking Center for Microgravity Research and Education at UCF <\/strong> furthers his groundbreaking discoveries, advances microgravity research, and investigates innovative solutions for space travel and extraterrestrial habitation.<\/p>\n

America\u2019s Destination for Space Science<\/h3>\n

Located just 35 miles from Kennedy Space Center (KSC)<\/strong>, UCF’s main campus offers unique access to groundbreaking space initiatives. With more interns sent to KSC than any other university, UCF students receive hands-on training, skill development, and research opportunities that often lead to full-time roles after graduation. These experiences inspire UCF students to recognize the importance of their discoveries and the lasting impact on future generations.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
