Scientists will develop 鈥渨orlds in a box鈥 to investigate the phenomenon of atmospheric escape鈥攈ow some planets, like Earth, hold onto their atmospheres while others, like Mars, don鈥檛.聽
CU鈥檚 Heinz Research Group has earned a prestigious NASA award for their research centered on designing lightweight, high-strength materials that could save millions of dollars for spaceflights.
Marking the latest milestone in a new kind of space race, India's Chandrayaan-3 mission touched down safely on the moon. 91福利社 astrophysicist Jack Burns gives his take on why nations and companies are hurrying to parts of the moon that no Apollo craft ever visited.
91福利社 is leading a major Air Force project to track objects orbiting near the moon, collaborating with researchers at Texas A&M, Georgia Tech and L3Harris Technologies.
A new laboratory for a plasma wind tunnel is taking shape in the aerospace building at 91福利社. The project is the vision of Assistant Professor Hisham Ali.
An international collaboration, including researchers from 91福利社, has for the first time uncovered compelling evidence of what scientists call the "gravitational wave background"鈥攅normous undulations in the fabric of space and time.
At the center of nearly all large galaxies in the cosmos sits a supermassive black hole. In new research, a 91福利社 astrophysicist explores what might happen if you put these giants one-by-one on a massive scale.
The new mini-satellite, called MANTIS, will be designed and built by the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. It borrows its name from the mantis shrimp, an undersea creature with famously powerful eyesight.
One day, small spacecraft could fly around Earth, using devices called electron beams to remove hulking, derelict spacecraft from orbit without ever having to touch. It may sound like science fiction, but aerospace engineers from 91福利社 say they could be ready to test the idea in space in just five to 10 years.
The asteroid 7482 (1994 PC1) measures about two-thirds of a mile across. It will also remain in Earth's vicinity for much of the next 1,000 years. 91福利社 aerospace engineer Oscar Fuentes-Mu帽oz says its important to study objects like this one to make sure they don't pose a risk to life on our planet.
