Texas A&M officials are developing a state-of-the-art space institute in collaboration with NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. This pioneering facility, the first of its kind in the United States, will offer advanced training and technology opportunities for mission support, robotics, and aeronautics.

The project is currently undergoing design and has secured significant funding from the state of Texas. With over 300 ongoing space projects valued at $50 million, Texas A&M University is a leader in cutting-edge research. The university also boasts four employed astronauts and has played crucial roles in all NASA rover missions to Mars.

Furthermore, two esteemed scientists from Texas A&M are actively involved on NASA’s Perseverance rover team. Stay updated on this exciting development by following Connect CRE for more updates.
