A new spacecraft could become NASA's nose in space, sniffing out the environments beyond Earth's solar system that might host planets with thick atmospheres.
How can winds at Earth's surface influence the orbits of satellites in space? What makes a planet habitable? These are some of the questions two new NASA-funded efforts will tackle at CU Boulder.
This week, NASA announced that it has given the green light to Libera, a new space mission that will record how much energy leaves our planet’s atmosphere.
Gregory Whiting and his research group are preparing for the thrill of a lifetime: two parabolic flights, each expected to provide around 10 minutes of reduced gravity to test and model how 3D printing of functional materials works in lunar gravity.
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has gotten closer to the sun than any other object designed and developed by humans—and CU Boulder scientists have been along for the ride.
A new machine learning tool, developed by scientists at CIRES and NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), can improve space weather forecasts and understanding of solar data.
