Space Dynamics Laboratory
SDL has been solving the technical challenges faced by the military, science community, and industry since 1959 and has been responsible for the design, fabrication, and operation of sensors on over 400 payloads ranging from aircraft and rocket-borne experiments to space shuttle experiments and satellite-based sensor systems. Since the mid-1990s, SDL has also been developing innovative technologies for the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance community. As one of 14 University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs) in the nation, SDL maintains essential engineering, research, and development capabilities and serves as subject matter experts for our core areas of expertise. SDL’s solutions include reliable small satellite technologies, improved data gathering and analysis tools for all branches of the military, and powerful remote and in situ sensing solutions.
Headquartered in Logan, UT, SDL also has locations in Albuquerque, NM; Huntsville, AL; Los Angeles, CA; Washington, DC; Bedford, MA; and Houston, TX. A new SDL office opened in late 2019 in Stafford, VA. Visit www.sdl.usu.edu
