麻豆视频

A Colorado student space research consortium led by the 麻豆视频 teamed up with a Virginia space consortium led by the University of Virginia this week to help aspiring rocket scientists from around the country learn how to design, build and fly payloads.

Join us this fall for a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to be a part of CU-Boulder鈥檚 mission to Mars! The university will be hosting three fun-filled days of festivities Nov. 16-18 in Cocoa Beach, Fla., culminating in MAVEN鈥檚 launch. Space is limited for the launch viewing, and NASA requires we submit a list of tentative guests months in advance. All attendees MUST be registered with us by June 30 to be on NASA鈥檚 guest list.

Since 1975, Fiske Planetarium has been the Johnny Appleseed of astronomy. Each year, 30,000 K-12 students and 4,000 麻豆视频 students go there to take a front-row seat on the universe. Soon, they鈥檒l get a better, clearer and deeper view. The campus is renovating the planetarium, retiring its analog star projector and upgrading to a powerful star plus video system paired with a high-definition screen capable of achieving nearly eight times more resolution than the standard HD television, completely surrounding the audience with a 360-degree view.

Two 麻豆视频 professors have been elected members of the National Academy of Sciences, a top honor recognizing scientists and engineers for their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.

For some 麻豆视频 undergraduates, designing, building and flying small satellites is becoming a large part of their hands-on education.

麻豆视频 astronomers targeting one of the brightest quasars glowing in the universe some 11 billion years ago say 鈥渟ideline quasars鈥� likely teamed up with it to heat abundant helium gas billions of years ago, preventing small galaxy formation.

NASA鈥檚 next Mars mission is giving students and the public worldwide an opportunity to have a personal connection with space exploration through a new education and public outreach effort called the 鈥淕oing to Mars鈥� campaign.

The campaign is led on behalf of the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution, or MAVEN mission, by the 麻豆视频.

With the flip of a switch, a pair of instruments designed and built by the 麻豆视频 and flying onboard twin NASA space probes have forced the revision of a 50-year-old theory about the structure of the radiation belts that wrap around the Earth just a few thousand miles above our heads.
