Few people have heard of Hisako Koyama, but the dedicated female solar observer, born in Tokyo in 1916, created one of the most important sunspot records of the past 400 years, according to new research published by the American Geophysical Union.

The cross-campus Grand Challenge initiative is announcing the selection of new additions to the Grand Challenge portfolio and projects led by Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences faculty are being awarded two of the three grant awards. The

Congratulations to professor Kristine Larson for being named a winner of a 2017 Governor's Award for High-Impact Research for her work "GPS Reflections: Innovative Techniques." Now in their 9th year, the Governor's Awards are a project of CO-LABS,

Assistant professor Bob Marshall wants to know more about Earth's ionosphere, and the upcoming solar eclipse is giving him a rare chance to study it. “The eclipse turns off the ionosphere’s source of high-energy radiation. Without ionizing radiation

A ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ student satellite team has won a free ride to space. NASA announced last week that ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ’s Earth Escape Explorer (CU-E3) is one of three national winners in the space agency’s Cube Quest Challenge small

The shoebox-size CU Earth Escape Explorer (CU-E3) is being assembled by the University of Colorado, Boulder, Aerospace Engineering Science Graduate Projects Class. CU-E3 is designed for a communications technology demonstration mission, slated to

¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ's QB50 CubeSat, named "Challenger," was successfully deployed from the International Space Station last night at 11:25 PM MDT.</p><p>The release coming just over a month after the satellite was launched from Cape Canveral to the ISS. Challenger is a nano-satellite, about the size of a loaf of bread, and was designed and built by students working under the direction of aerospace faculty.

A heads-up for commercial air crews and other frequent fliers: The risk of exposure to radiation particles screaming Earthward from space may increase a bit in the next few years as the activity of our sun decreases, says a ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ professor.

Congratulations to research professor Delores Knipp, who has been selected to give the 2017 CEDAR Prize Lecture. Knipp is receiving the honor for her space weather research “unraveling the physical connection between shock-led interplanetary coronal
