Marcus Holzinger, a Smead Faculty Fellow and associate professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences, will address the Subcommittee on Space and Science on July 22. The hearing will focus on Space Situational Awareness, Space Traffic Management and Orbital Debris.

A four-star general traveled to Boulder last week to highlight the CU system’s participation in a new effort called the Space Force University Partnership Program, designed to spur research supporting the newest military branch’s mission to protect U.S. and allied interests in space.

An aerospace PhD student at CU Boulder recently returned from a two-week stay at the Mars Desert Research Station, which gives scientists and engineers the opportunity to test out future space experiments in an environment closer to home.

Professor Hanspeter Schaub (Aerospace Engineering) discusses whether you should be worried about objects falling from space—and how emerging science fiction-esque technologies may soon play a role in removing debris from orbit.

Shayna Hume, a graduate student in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at CU Boulder, is blasting off on an adventurous journey: She's heading to Mars (or at least as close to Mars as you can get on Earth).

After NASA successfully landed the Perseverance rover on the surface of Mars, the unique hurdles of human space exploration are in the spotlight again. They're also the bread and butter of researchers studying bioastronautics at CU Boulder.

Drawing on partnerships with NASA, the DOD and the aerospace industry, the College of Engineering and Applied Science recently launched a new research initiative focusing on hypersonic vehicles—and will launch a new hypersonics grad certificate this summer.

CU Boulder researchers are part of a high stakes (albeit collaborative) international race to find the gravitational wave background. Their project joins two others in Europe and Australia to make up a network called the International Pulsar Timing Array.

Hidden pockets of water could be much more common on the surface of the moon than scientists once suspected, according to new research led by CU Boulder. In some cases, these tiny patches of ice might exist in shadows no bigger than a penny that have gone without a single ray of sunlight for billions of years.

Scientists at CU Boulder are developing a satellite about the size of a toaster oven to explore one of the cosmos’ most fundamental mysteries: How did radiation from stars punch its way out of the first galaxies to fundamentally alter the make-up of the universe as it we know it today?
