Welcome to Spacecraft Research and Design Center (SRDC) I invite you to browse our web site and learn about the center. In the center the research is in progress in several challenging areas, such as flexible spacecraft control, acquisition, tracking, and pointing, optical beam control, adaptive optics, beam jitter, adaptive control, control moment gyros control, and spacecraft design. The center has several state-of-art laboratories for instruction and research. Director Profile... About SRDC The Spacecraft Research and Design Center provides cutting-edge research for future DoD missions. The SRDC consists of five state-of-the art laboratories: FLTSATCOM Laboratory, Smart Structure and Attitude Control Laboratory, Spacecraft Design Center, NPS-AFRL Optical Relay Mirror Spacecraft Laboratory, and Adaptive Optics Beam Control Laboratory. More... SRDC Laboratories The NPS Students and Researchers use SRDC laboratories for courses and research. These laboratories are primarily funded by external research projects. More... SRDC News & Events Job Opportunities Spacecraft Research and Design Center has openings for Research Fellows and Electro-Optics Engineers. More... Theses/Research Opportunities SRDC offers opportunities for hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology in various research areas related to future DoD missions such as Laser Communications systems, Advanced Electro-Optical Imaging systems, and High Energy Laser (HEL) systems. More... | SRDC Research Labs Focus Adaptive Optics Testbed The Adaptive Optics Testbed uses adaptive optics to improve the quality of an imaged object. Light from an object of interest and a red light reference laser beam travel together though the optical components on the table, becoming aberrated in the process. More...  Three Axis Simulator II Three Axis Simulator II (TAS II) is a second generation spacecraft simulator equipped with more powerful actuators and more accurate sensors. More...  Adaptive Optics Beam Control Laboratory A new Adaptive Optics Beam Control Lab provides a clean room environment for high energy beam control research. More... |
