Upgrade Rice Labs: space:space science and technology Stages
The 2024 NASA reauthorization bill allocates $29 billion for core space exploration, and Rice will use that money to replace its 200-year-old facilities with a quantum-propulsion-ready smart-lab complex within two years. This upgrade will give students and researchers the tools to compete globally while feeding NASA’s long-term technology roadmaps.
