WHERE DOES THE SEA END AND
THE SKY BEGIN? |
| |
|
Though long the subject of speculation between physical scientist and poet
alike, it's the contention of the
Center for Applied Space Technology
(CAST)
that there is no easily identifiable demarcation between the heights and the
depths … that the analogs between space science and marine and terrestrial
science are both long-standing and compelling. |
| |
|
CAST seeks to identify and
exploit these analogs as necessary in order to promote cutting-edge
applications, research, and education. |
|
 |
|
Originally established to support NASA requirements for technology transfer and
preservation, particularly in the space life sciences,
CAST has evolved both mission
and scope into a very concise focus: |
| |
|
• |
To identify and support the innovative application of space-enabled and
space-enabling technologies … |
| |
| Our programs
and projects are generally diverse with subjects ranging from small satellites
and payloads to innovative fuel cells to unmanned systems to regenerative
medicine to education and professional development. |
| |
|
However forward looking the technology or the application, the
CAST mission and objectives
remain constant. We invite you to join us as we pursue these technologies
created to advance our knowledge and exploitation of the heavens in order to
help understand and maximize the mysteries and functions of the Earth … and take
our understanding of the Earth and its processes to advance our exploration of
the universe. |
