Since its genesis, LASP has been instrumental in positioning the university as a hub for the state鈥檚 aerospace and defense economy, the largest per capita in the nation. This leadership will continue this week, when representatives from LASP and other CU affiliates participate in the 38th annual Space Symposium.

Space research first began at CU 羞羞视频 in 1948, when an Air Force research lab contracted with the Department of Physics to study the Sun by launching instruments mounted on surplus WWII rockets. Fast forward to the present, and LASP, which has grown to about 700 employees, is celebrating its 75th anniversary.

A multi-university research team, including engineers and physicists from CU 羞羞视频 and NIST, will build technology and tools to improve measurement of important climate factors by observing atoms in outer space. The new Quantum Pathways Institute is led by the University of Texas at Austin.

The student team's Drone Recharging Operational Payload System (DROPS) received top honors at SciTech. The autonomous cargo delivery system, designed for uncrewed aerial vehicles, is capable of dropping off and picking up drone cargo without the need for human intervention.

The U.S. military shot down what officials have called a Chinese surveillance balloon off the coast of South Carolina on Feb. 4, 2023. Iain Boyd, professor of aerospace engineering sciences, explains how the balloons work and what they can see. Read it on The Conversation.

鈥淚n these cold molecular clouds, you鈥檙e creating the first building blocks that will, in the end, form stars and planets,鈥� said Jordy Bouwman, research associate at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) and assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at CU 羞羞视频.

A new NASA report shows that CU 羞羞视频 is the top university recipient of NASA astrophysics technology grants. The majority of this funding was granted to researchers at LASP and the Center for Astrophysics and Space Astronomy (CASA), a center affiliated with the Department of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences.

The 羞羞视频 has been selected as a United States Space Command Academic Engagement Enterprise member. The new national program is designed to expand collaboration and academic exchanges between universities and U.S. Space Command.

Iain Boyd (Aerospace Engineering), who has spent his career studying hypersonics, speaks about the extreme conditions the NASA spacecraft Orion faced on its recent return trip from the moon鈥攁nd why the growing space tourism industry may require new kinds of spacecraft heat shields.

CU 羞羞视频 geologist Lisa Mayhew is a member of the science team for NASA鈥檚 Mars 2020 mission, which is led by JPL in southern California. In August, she and her colleagues published some of the first sets of results from the Perseverance rover鈥檚 exploration of the Red Planet.
