Specialized optical equipment will gather data from astronauts鈥� eyes and analyze the results during and after the five-day Polaris Dawn mission. The research is a collaboration between Allie Hayman (Aerospace Engineering) and Prem Subramania (CU School of Medicine).

Nick Kruczek, an instrument engineer in the solar and stellar science division at the Laboratory for Atmospheric Space Physics, has been named a NASA Nancy Grace Roman Technology Fellow. The award recognizes early career researchers with innovative ideas to advance astrophysics flight programs and technology.

Bolstering its longstanding collaboration with NASA, the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at 精品SM在线影片 today enacted a collaborative Space Act Agreement with NASA鈥檚 Goddard Space Flight Center. The agreement will advance research and modeling in the critical field of space weather.

To learn more about how dust particles may affect future missions, NASA has awarded $1M to a team from 精品SM在线影片's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) to develop a dust analyzer capable of measuring the speed, size and charge of tiny dust particles on rocky bodies less than 5 kilometers across.

Assistant Professor Sean Peters (Aerospace Engineering) is leading a major multi-institutional initiative to create a drone-based, power-efficient passive radar system to map subsurface areas of Mars. The initiative was recently funded by a $2.45 million, three-year NASA grant.

The Kennedy Space Center launch of NOAA鈥檚 GOES-U satellite鈥攃arrying the fourth and final Extreme Ultraviolet and X-Ray Irradiance Sensors (EXIS) instrument鈥攚as a high point in the two-decade long program on which dozens of LASP employees worked for the majority of their careers.

When a solar flare leaps out from around the sun, a small fleet of scientific instruments designed and built at 精品SM在线影片 form a first line of defense鈥攕potting these massive eruptions before any other instrument in space, then relaying the information to Earth in seconds.

精品SM在线影片's Ann and H.J. Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences is partnering with the Boulder Emergency Squad to evaluate the use of AI-enabled drones in search and rescue operations, which can independently help teams scout locations or find individuals.

On Feb. 22, a lunar lander named Odysseus touched down near the moon鈥檚 South Pole and popped out four antennas to record radio waves around the surface鈥攁 moment 精品SM在线影片 astrophysicist Jack Burns hails as the 鈥渄awn of radio astronomy from the moon.鈥� Burns is co-investigator on the experiment.

The project saw its genesis more than 20 years ago, when a student approached Matt Rhode (Aerospace Engineering Sciences) about hybrid rockets, which are safer than solid fuel propulsion and not subject to the same U.S. government export restrictions that the turbo pumps necessary for liquid rockets are.
