A new NASA report shows that the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ is the top university recipient of NASA astrophysics technology grants.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder has been selected as a member of the United States Space Command Academic Engagement Enterprise, a new national program designed to expand collaboration and academic exchanges between universities and Space Command.
Since July 2022, a miniature satellite about the size of a shoebox has been orbiting Earth and monitoring how much solar energy reaches the atmosphere, one of the "most important" Earth science measurements. Now, scientists are finalizing their analysis of the first five months of the testing.
The historic spacecraft soon hit Earth's atmosphere flying at speeds of almost 25,000 mph. Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder aerospace engineer Iain Boyd breaks down what will happen to the capsule, and how NASA will keep it safe on reentry.
A first-of-its-kind sensor, developed by a team at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, will measure sunlight reflecting from Earth with more accuracy than any instrument in space or on the ground.
Ahead of the historic space mission, crew members joined Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder researchers Allie Anderson and Torin Clark to talk about how the eye changes in space, experiencing "space motion sickness" and more.
NASA’s Orion spacecraft blasted off this morning from Florida in the first stage of its 25-day journey to circle the moon and return to Earth. Two Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder scientists talk about what lies in store for the space agency’s ambitious Artemis Program.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder geologist Lisa Mayhew serves on the science team for NASA’s Perseverance rover, an intrepid machine that has crossed over nearly 8 miles of the surface of Mars—and is helping to recreate the forces that shaped this planet into what it looks like today.
On Monday, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test slammed into an asteroid called Dimorphos at speeds of more than 14,000 miles per hour. Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder aerospace engineer Jay McMahon breaks down how this test could one day help to protect life on Earth.
In two years, a dust analyzer designed and built at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder will launch aboard NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft, aiding in its mission to determine if Jupiter's icy moon Europa has conditions that could support life.
