NASA has named a University of Colorado Boulder team a finalist in a competition to design a greenhouse for use on Mars.

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 ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ will be aboard.

Researchers at ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ are starting work on a new collaborative grant from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that will improve solar wind modeling.

MAVEN is preparing to take on additional responsibility as a data-relay satellite for NASA’s Mars 2020 rover, which launches next year.

LASP employs student “command controllers” to help operate the space missions under its supervision. “LASP is the only place in the world that has students work on spacecraft like this,” says Reidar Larsen, a graduate student who started working at LASP as an undergraduate at ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ. “It’s completely unique.”

The University of Colorado was awarded a nearly $57.4 million contract with NASA's Langley Research Center to build an instrument to be installed on the outside of the International Space Station. The technology is meant to improve the accuracy of the measurements scientists take of changes on Earth, including climate change.
