Seminar

This seminar will recount the two-year proximity operations and remote sensing campaign at Bennu, including the dramatic sample collection event and the events leading to the landing of the sample capsule in Utah...

Radar remote sensing observations are critical for understanding and predicting our evolving Earth and planetary systems. However, traditional radars must transmit their...

A critical phase of both spaceflight at Earth and exploration of planetary bodies is hypersonic atmospheric entry. During this...

Understanding hypersonic flowfields is important for vehicle design for both space exploration and national defense applications. However, computational models for hypersonic flows require coupling a variety of...

Measuring temporal changes in Earth’s gravity field provides a unique way to monitor redistribution of water and ice associated with processes such as...

Operations in complex environments are characterized by limited infrastructure, resources, and expertise coupled with multiple environmental stressors that...

We discuss recent findings from inductively coupled plasma wind tunnel experiments on the spallation of lightweight charring ablators. Spallation effects due to...

Featuring U.S. Navy Admiral (Ret.) Michelle Howard. From wooden hulls crossing the Delaware River in 1775 to directed-energy weapons, satellite intercepts, and cyber operations today, the United States Navy has...

Saturn’s moons are among the most compelling destinations for future planetary exploration, offering unique opportunities to investigate ocean worlds, plume activity, and the conditions for habitability.

The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), launched in 2002, provided pioneering observations of changes in surface mass on our planet by measuring variations in the...
