The objective of the Space Engineering Research Center is to develop and disseminate a unified technology of controlled structures, to codify and disseminate this technology, and to train a generation of skilled engineers. The disciplinary research with the Controlled Structures Testbed (CST) is ongoing. The interferometer testbed became operational and is an active vehicle for researchers. The engineering model of the Mid-Deck Active Control Experiment (MACE) multibody test article also was commissioned. It is a pathfinder for control of articulated flexible structures. The Mid-Deck 0-Gravity Dynamics Experiment (MODE) experiment flew on STS-48. Its goals were to examine the dynamics of space structures in zero-gravity.
