Aerospace Engineering Sciences

Aerospace Students Work on Projects from the Ocean's Surface to the Outer Planets, continued

BioServe Space Technologies will launch its first long-duration commercial research project aboard the International Space Station in April to examine the mechanisms of microbially enhanced pharmaceutical production in microgravity. Additional research projects involve protecting astronauts from bone loss in space and studying the effects of long duration space flight on plant growth.

Meanwhile, the Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research is now using GPS signals reflected from the ocean surface to determine wind speed, direction, and ocean topography. The use of GPS reflected signals for determining soil moisture has led to mapping of terrestrial vegetation changes, as well as the study of sea ice conditions.

AES students have a wide variety of choices for study, from the ocean surface to outer space and points in between. Best of all, they learn while doing and leave CU with the confidence and skills needed to "get the job done."
