Thanks to the Minority Serving Institution Partnership Program-Nuclear Security Science and Technology Consortium (MSIPP-NSSTC), Nevada National Security Sites’ (NNSS’) Site-Directed Research and Development (SDRD) program is resuming unmanned aircraft system (UAS) experimentation. The National Nuclear Security Administration-funded consortium was launched three years ago to establish pathways for scientific exchanges between the NNSS and universities, and to provide students from minority backgrounds with exposure to practical applications of the concepts they’re studying in school.

The rocket payloads provided by Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC) collect stimulus data on new materials within the payloads. This data will help to advance KCNSC's efforts towards Stockpile Modernization and Sustainment.
