The New York Consortium for Space Technology Innovation and Development (NYCST) today announced the selection of projects for Round 2 of its competitive funding program, continuing its mission to invigorate and advance space technology manufacturing, workforce development, research and infrastructure in New York state.
Funded through the U.S. Department of Defense’s Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation under the Defense Manufacturing Community Support Program, Round 2 awards support organizations working on groundbreaking space-related technology development, supply-chain resilience and workforce initiatives that bolster the nation’s space industrial base.
“As global competition in space accelerates, New York is mobilizing its premier research institutions through NYCST to address workforce shortages, close capability gaps and mature the critical technologies our nation needs,” said Mason Peck, executive director of NYCST and the Stephen J. Fujikawa ’77 Professor of Astronautical Engineering at Cornell. “For decades, our state has been a home to innovative aerospace companies. Through NYCST, we are now aligning that heritage with our top-tier research institutions to ensure that industry can develop and scale up breakthrough technologies right here in New York.”
