Director's Welcome 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 six state-of-the art laboratories: FLTSATCOM Laboratory, Smart Structure and Attitude Control Laboratory, Spacecraft Design Center, NPS-AFRL Optical Relay Mirror Spacecraft Laboratory, Adaptive Optics Beam Control Laboratory, and Segmented Mirror Telescope Laboratory.
