Welcome
The Physical Science Laboratory (PSL) has been an integral and important part of New Mexico State University (NMSU) since 1946. PSL educates, mentors, and trains tomorrow's future by having them work along-side today's experts. In order to facilitate this process, partnerships with corporations and government agencies have been formed to develop trained technical specialists by offering outstanding students opportunities to participate in sponsored projects in a strongly supportive, mentored environment under expert tutelage. PSL also is strengthening relationships with its customers as we continue to provide the highest standards of excellence through the development of critical technologies and services.
PSL is distinguished by its numerous scientific and technical contributions, steadfast customers, and talented staff and student employees, who have incorporated ongoing research into successful real-world applications for over sixty years.
PSL, originally created by NMSU to provide scientific and engineering expertise to the White Sands Missile Range, now offers a wide range of quality services and products to its customers. PSL is organized into two departments that correspond to its major areas of specialization. These are 21st Century Aerospace and Information Sciences and Security Systems.
Our future holds many exciting possibilities as we have conceived numerous diverse initiatives that spotlight NMSU and PSL while strengthening the regional economy.
