MOREHEAD, Ky. (WYMT) – Rep. Hal Rogers (R-5th District) announced he secured grant money for the Morehead State University Space Science Center.
The nearly $10 million grant will go toward upgrading the program’s satellite system. Students use the system in aerospace missions.
Congressman Hal Rogers said Morehead State University’s impact on the region cannot be overstated.
“We’re looking for a new way of living, because we lost the coal mines. The space program is uniquely qualified to take part in it. They are willing and abled and qualified,” said Rep. Hal Rogers.
Rogers also honored members of the aerospace program who played a part in saving NASA’s Odysseus mission.
WYMT will have further coverage Thursday evening looking into how the funding will make an impact.
