Space Technology, Materials, and Medicine
From massive orbiting satellites to molecules undetectable without a nanoscope, this category of space science covers a board spectrum of the materials that allow humans to explore the cosmos beyond our stratosphere.
Dr. Teviet Creighton is specializes in development of space technology, in addition to being aa theoretical astrophysicist. He leads federally-funded research and development program STARGATE aimed at achieving novel space technology.
The Spacecraft Tracking and Astronomical Research into Gigahertz Astrophysical Transient Emission (STARGATE) project at UTRGV is a research and development program aimed at developing technologies for space exploration and commercilization.
Dr. Creighton works with UTRGV Center for Innovation and Commercialization to develop roadmaps for space technology commercialization and education programs for space technology entrepreneurship.
