Sponsor Spotlight: Microsoft Research
30-OCT-2006
Microsoft Research first began supporting America's most ambitious student satellite in 2004 through the Microsoft/MIT iCampus initiative. MIT iCampus was initiated in October 1999 as a five-year, $25 million research alliance between MIT and Microsoft Research to enhance university education through information technology. The goal is to demonstrate leadership in higher education by sponsoring innovative projects with significant, sustainable impact at MIT and elsewhere. MIT iCampus has provided $16 million to fund 19 faculty research projects and 20 student-run projects. As a measure of MIT iCampus's impact at MIT, the MIT iCampus projects have involved 96 courses with a combined enrollment of over 5,000 students. Over 300 MIT researchers, including 20% of all MIT engineering faculty and instructors, have worked on MIT iCampus research projects.

For the past 30 years, National Instruments has been a technology pioneer and leader in virtual instrumentation - a revolutionary concept that has changed the way engineers and scientists in industry, government, and academia approach measurement and automation. Students at MIT designing the spacecraft's payload module use National Instruments hardware and software every day for prototyping and verification.
