Mahmoud Hussein (Aerospace Engineering; Physics), 鈥婩rancois Barthelat (Mechanical Engineering) and Scott Diddams (Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering; Physics) are conducting projects awarded through the U.S. Department of Defense鈥檚 Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) Program.

Rachael Seidler, professor of applied physiology and kinesiology at the University of Florida, will deliver this year鈥檚 Rose M. Litman Memorial Lecture in Science on April 4 at CU 羞羞视频: 鈥淏rain and Behavioral Changes with Human Spaceflight: Dysfunction and Adaptive Plasticity.鈥�

Thanks to new technologies and public-private partnerships, Professor Jack Burns (Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences) and a team of scientists will conduct radio astronomy from the south pole and the far side of the Moon in 2024鈥攐ne of NASA鈥檚 first science experiments from the lunar surface in over 50 years.

Scientists and engineers at CU 羞羞视频 will soon take part in an effort to collect stardust鈥攖he tiny bits of matter that flow through the Milky Way Galaxy and were once the initial building blocks of our solar system. The pursuit is part of NASA鈥檚 Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission.

Assistant Professor Robyn Macdonald (Aerospace Engineering) has been awarded a $600K NASA Early Career award to improve computational modeling of turbulence at hypersonic speeds, using supercomputers such as CU 羞羞视频鈥檚 Blanca Condo Cluster and NASA鈥檚 Pleiades Supercomputer.

A spacecraft the size of a cereal box has collected precise measurements of the atmospheres of large and puffy planets called 鈥渉ot Jupiters.鈥� The findings, led by a team from CU 羞羞视频, could help reveal how the atmospheres around these and a host of other worlds are escaping into space.

鈥淭he current methods of trajectory design for missions that go beyond low Earth orbit to the Moon are very complicated and not intuitive. I want to change that,鈥� said Dezell Turner, an aerospace PhD student aiming to streamline orbital design with an interactive, augmented reality tool.

The George Ellery Hale Fellowships, created by CU 羞羞视频 in partnership with NSF鈥檚 National Solar Observatory, are designed to give students the freedom to explore a mix of solar and space physics research paths with multiple mentors before deciding on a thesis project.

Some dark craters on the moon are never exposed to light. Ice could be hiding in these permanently shadowed regions. Paul Hayne (Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences) discusses how scientists are homing in on potential lunar ice reservoirs, which are key to setting up any sort of sustainable lunar infrastructure.

This year, the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) celebrates its 75th anniversary鈥攎arking 75 years of CU 羞羞视频's exploration from the fringes of Earth鈥檚 atmosphere to the wide expanse of interstellar space鈥攁nd the university is just getting started. Learn what's in store for the year ahead.
