SPACE NANOTECHNOLOGY LABORATORY

The Space Nanotechnology Laboratory (SNL) is located in the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research (MKI). The SNL, along with our companion laboratory, the NanoStructures Laboratory (NSL), is a member of the Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL), a consortium of campus microfabrication facilities with shared interests... The SNL maintains active collaborations with groups in the Departments of Mechanical, Electrical, Aero/Astro Engineering, and Physics and is interested in expanding these contacts... The SNL fabricated hundreds of transmission gratings for the High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer on board of Chandra, launched in 1999, and still operating. (Image credit: NASA/CXC/SAO)
