Morpheus Facilities
Our primary lab spaces are located in the Advanced Materials and Processing Branch at NASA Langley Research Center. |
Our offices are located in the National Institute of Aerospace building down the street from NASA Langley. |
Additional lab space is located on-campus at the University of Maryland, College Park inside the Kim Building. |
Here is a peek inside our first lab space, the “electronics lab”, which is used for building and testing electronic equipment such as custom control systems and data acquisition systems for our flying vehicles. |
Our “fabrication lab” space is used for designing, ... |
machining, bench-testing, ... |
and assembling our vehicles. |
We also use an additional lab equipped with a passively damped optical bench for fine resolution structural dynamics studies and characterization of smart materials devices. |
Occasionally we will also make use of the fully equipped machine shop down the hall to make rough parts. |
Of course we are also often located somewhere far out in the field doing flight testing! |
And in order to transport our flight test vehicles to the field we make use of Morpheus Lab's custom flight research trailer. |
