Georgia Tech Astrobiology
The Georgia Tech Astrobiology Program brings together researchers and students in the interdisciplinary field of astrobiology, which combines astronomy, biology, geosciences, chemistry, and physics, to understand the origin, evolution, and possible distribution of life in the universe.
Center for Relativistic Astrophysics
The mission of the Center for Relativistic Astrophysics (CRA) is to provide students with an outstanding education and training and to foster a vibrant and diverse environment for transformative research and innovative thinking. CRA researchers are engaged in investigations ranging from the large scale structure in the early universe to particle interactions.
Center for Space Technology and Research
The Center for Space Technology and Research (CSTAR) organizes, integrates, and facilitates Georgia Tech’s space science and technology research activities. CSTAR brings together a wide range of Georgia Tech faculty who are active in space-related research and functions as a focal point for the growth of the space industry in the state of Georgia.
CLEVER Virtual Institute
The Center for Lunar Environment and Volatile Exploration Research (CLEVER) was created by NASA as a virtual institute, or SSERVI (Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute), to study the lunar environment and the generation and properties of volatiles and dust.
Hypersonics Center of Excellence
The Georgia Tech Hypersonics Center of Excellence (Hypersonics@GT) was formed to deliver the technologies, testbeds, and talent necessary to maintain U.S. success in hypersonic flight. Enabling hypersonic flight is widely recognized as a key national priority, and academia has been recognized as a key part of the US hypersonics ecosystem.
REVEALS Global Multidisciplinary Team
The Radiation Effects on Volatiles and Exploration of Asteroids and Lunar Surfaces (REVEALS) is a global multidisciplinary team dedicated to researching today’s vital topics for future human space exploration. Based at Georgia Tech, REVEALS is a member of SSERVI (Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute).
