UND assistant professor researches potential benefits of Grand Forks becoming a space hub

Grand Forks might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of space exploration, but some see a future where this North Dakota city becomes a key player in the space industry. At UND, Professor Francisco Del Canto Viterale is studying how Grand Forks could evolve into a “space hub,” connecting universities, companies, and government agencies to fuel innovation, jobs, and economic growth. With aerospace infrastructure already in place, the idea is gaining traction—and could help the city keep more homegrown talent right here. Madison Dame with Grand Forks Herald has the full story.
