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
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...
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 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
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 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...
Studying the astrodynamics of space debris involves complex mathematical formulas and advanced calculations, but it is right up Marielle Pellegrino's alley. After all, she is Miss Aerospace. Four years ago, Pellegrino, an aerospace PhD student,
Aerospace has a new home at CU Boulder. The Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences has moved into its new dedicated building on East Campus. Eighteen months after construction began, the four-story, 175,000-square-foot
The International Space Station has a problem with fungus and mold—and the University of Colorado Boulder has sent new research to space to find solutions. It is living and growing in secret aboard the station, hidden behind panels and inside...
Scott Palo is leading a multi-university effort to unlock a scientific mystery in near-Earth space. He is leading a team that has earned a $4 million, four-year grant from the National Science Foundation's Ideas Lab to design and build three CubeSat nanosatellites to investigate the...
