  • Addison Woodard
    Aerospace junior and Colorado native Addison Woodard is Johnson Space Center-bound.

    The Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences undergraduate has been selected as one of just 25 students nationwide for a 2020 NASA Pathways internship at JSC in Houston, Texas.

    “This is a program I've...
  • NASA SUITS logo.
    University of Colorado Boulder students are designing next-generation spacesuit technology. The CU Technology for Extreme Environments (CUTEE) Club is competing in the NASA SUITS Challenge to design and create an augmented reality system – an interactive, heads-up display – that could present live electronic information to astronauts inside their...
  • Rendering of the CSSWE CubeSat in orbit.
    Up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's (another) University of Colorado Boulder CubeSat!

    CU Boulder's role as a major force in cube satellites is being highlighted by Bryce Space and Technology, a space research and consulting firm.

    According to...
  • Shaylah Mutschler
    Shaylah Mutschler is designing a better forecasting system for space weather by exploiting an unlikely source: space junk. “The government currently uses intensive ground sensor tasking to monitor conditions in orbit. This is costly and takes time
  • Collage of the winners
    Aviation Week has announced four University of Colorado Boulder aerospace students as winners of “Tomorrow’s Technology Leaders: The 20 Twenties.” Released in collaboration with the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), the
  • Joe Tanner in space.
    Astronauts moving in low gravity is one of the most exciting-looking things about space travel. It can also be very painful. Injuries, abrasions, lacerations, and fingernail delamination are common among astronauts, all merely the result of trying to maneuver in the bulky and awkward space suits they must...
  • Representative illustration of artifical intelligence.
    University of Colorado Boulder researchers are developing artificial intelligence systems so computers can recognize and explain their own limitations to users.

    It takes on an important issue people face with each other every day.

    “We all have different competencies and we know our own limitations. If I'm asked to...
  • Bobby Braun
    Bobby Braun has been recognized with a major award from the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics in Orlando, FL today. AIAA announced that Braun, dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado
  • Rendering of blood and cells inside the body.
    The way nutrients and drugs move within the body has more in common with space-bound rockets and jets than you might think. “It's a mechanics problem,” said Jim Brasseur, research professor of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of
  • Paul Sánchez
    Paul Sánchez is being recognized with a rare honor: an asteroid that bears his name. The International Astronomical Union has announced that asteroid 2000 VH57 is now officially named (20882) Paulsánchez. “It was quite unexpected,” said Sánchez, a senior research associate in the...
