EMBRY-RIDDLE RESEARCH PARK LABS AND INNOVATION
A complex of labs and maker spaces that incubate innovation, empower entrepreneurship and feature the support of Embry-Riddle’s vast experience and expertise at expanding the talent pool and boosting the number of high-paying career opportunities in our communities.
Circuits, Sensor and Instrumentation Laboratory (CSIL) – Dr. Eduardo Rojas
Description: The CSIL supports development of novel circuits from concept to final testing. Capabilities include designing sensor components and integrated systems, fabricating precision circuit components, performing assembly in-house and precision measurements to characterize sensors and electronics. CSIL researchers have expertise in avionics and aerospace communications and sensing, including RADAR, satellite communications and UAS Sense and Avoid.
Cici and Hyatt Brown Center for Aerospace Technology In a future where research, technology and entrepreneurship will dominate the economic landscape, the Cici and Hyatt Brown Center for Aerospace Technology will provide space for those looking to bring new initiatives to life. Offering 65,000 square feet of room for innovative companies to take flight and help high-paying jobs to continue landing in Volusia County, it will enhance our well established Research Park East complex. We plan to debut this addition to our Research Park by Fall 2024.
Key Equipment: ETS-Lindgren Far-Field Antenna Anechoic Chamber, a test and measurement facility with an operating range of 700 MHz to 6 GHz. With heavy-duty positioner, the chamber is suitable for testing a range of devices, ranging from new antenna technologies to integrated systems. Ground Communications Systems includes two complete space communications earth stations for VHF/ UHF and S-Band (3m dish). The antennas are steerable, capable of communicating with small satellites in various orbits and meet the demanding tracking speeds required for spacecraft in low earth orbit, such as cubesats. Research: Current research focuses on material engineering, novel manufacturing techniques, optimized antenna and circuit geometries and real-world implementation of high-performance wireless devices. For example, CSIL researchers have printed components for a patent-pending radio aboard the International Space Station. The device transmits readings to Embry-Riddle’s Ground Communications Systems to study how 3-D printed parts and radio communications systems respond in space.

EAGLECAM
FIRST University student-built payload on the moon 2 + Years in the making 20 + Students across three disciplines 100 + Project donors
In February 2024, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and the College of Engineering accomplished a historic first. EagleCam — a CubeSat camera system entirely designed and built by students — landed on the moon. EagleCam traveled to the moon aboard the Intuitive Machines Odysseus lunar lander and became the first university student-built payload on the lunar surface. The interdisciplinary project was the culmination of years of hard work and innovation, with contributions from the aerospace, electrical and mechanical engineering disciplines. The CubeSat was developed in our Space Technologies Laboratory, one of the cutting-edge engineering facilities available at our university. Originally designed to take the world’s first third-person selfie of a spacecraft landing on the moon, EagleCam represents our commitment to advancing space technology and humanity’s understanding of the universe. The project has enabled our students to gain first-hand experience with space missions and has demonstrated their exceptional ability to adapt, iterate under pressure and persevere. At Embry-Riddle, the sky is no longer the limit. With talented faculty, modern research laboratories and the support of industry and generous donors, our students are at the forefront of space exploration. From version two of EagleCam, to 3D renderings of space walks, the future looks bright.
