Pitt Space

Pitt Space has submitted a funding proposal for community building, outreach, and workforce development in space engineering for the emerging space industry in Pittsburgh. We will be producing a new generation of Pittsburgh space engineers! 🚀

Congratulations to first-author Noah Perryman, Ph.D. and our project team for this outstanding work! #pittspace #pitt #engineering #aerospaceengineering #researcher #AcademicCommunity #AcademicWriting

Could hibernation help astronauts on long missions? 💤🚀 Pitt researcher Kate Flickinger, a TRISH fellow, is studying how lowering metabolic rates—like hibernating animals—could ease spaceflight’s physical toll. Read more about this via the link in our bio! 🌍💡 #pittspace
