In 1948, William Pietenpol, the chair of physics at the University of Colorado, assembled a team of scientists and engineers for an ambitious venture: to launch an Aerobee rocket into the upper reaches of Earth’s atmosphere and collect new observations of the ultraviolet radiation emanating from the sun.

A little piece of Colorado is going to the moon. When NASA launches Orion EM-1 in 2020, its first mission to orbit the moon since 1972, experiments from the University of Colorado Boulder will be aboard.

The Postdoctoral Association of Colorado Boulder and the NIST Postdoctoral Early-Career Association of Researchers are happy to announce the first annual Front Range Industry and Postdoc Summit.

On August 11, CU Boulder’s David Malaspina will have a front-row seat for the launch of NASA’s newest mission, the Parker Solar Probe. The event, which is scheduled to take place at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, will be a must-see for scientists who have spent their careers watching the sun.

Researchers at CU Boulder will soon set their sights on the heliosphere, a massive bubble in space that surrounds our solar system and shields it from incoming radiation. NASA’s recently announced Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission, which is slated to launch in 2024, will hover close to one million miles from Earth where it will observe the outermost edges of the solar system—the limits of our sun’s influence on space.

The Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) and the Colorado Space Business Roundtable convened a forum on May 17, 2018 to explore current investment challenges facing Colorado’s aerospace industry.

At 6:51 p.m. on April 18, a rocket carrying NASA’s latest space satellite, called the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), blasted off from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. CU Boulder Assistant Professor Zach Berta-Thompson was on the ground for the launch.
