Heavy Payload Capacity Drone UAV for Atmospheric Research and Research Training - The Department is looking to raise $19,000 ($9,500 + $9,500 matching funds) to purchase a high-payload capacity drone for atmospheric and environmental earth and oceanic research by Millersville students and faculty. The heavy-payload capacity drone UAV will allow us to expand our measurement capability to greater altitudes and horizontal distances than a balloon system can provide, and expose students to the next generation of airborne boundary layer measurement systems.
The Biology Department needs $3,500 (which will provide $4,200 in matching funds) to purchase seven stereomicroscopes for use in teaching cell development and research by Millersville University students.
