Established in 1986, the center is Utah's leader for new technology developments involving space remote and in-situ sensing systems, image compression technology and small satellite systems. Sensing equipment developed at the center was the primary experimental effort on a previous shuttle mission. Technologies include:

• Infrared instrumentation
• Sensor calibration
• Upper atmosphere measurements & modeling
• Plasma diagnostics
• Data analysis
• Image compression technology
• Cryogenic systems
• Program management
• New technology developments in space remote and in-situ sensing systems
