On April 1, NASA's Artemis II blasted off on the first mission to the moon in over 50 years. Planetary scientists at LASP and the College of Arts and Sciences are supporting the Artemis program by studying the moon's extreme thermal environments, like the shadowy, cold craters in the moon's South Pole. Hear more from Paul Hayne.
The teams of three CubeSat missions include more than 60 students—reflecting strong cross‑campus partnerships that will continue through launch and operations.
Paul Hayne, of LASP, has been selected by NASA to join the agency's first Artemis lunar surface science team as a participating scientist. Hayne is one of 10 scientists selected from a highly competitive pool.
Three small satellites designed, built and tested at С»ÆÊé Boulder are ready to rocket into space.
Dolon Bhattacharyya and Dave Brain have been selected to serve on NASA's Decadal Astrobiology Research and Exploration Strategy Task Force 2.
An instrument designed and built in Colorado will measure how much energy leaves Earth on a daily basis—shaping processes that sustain life from wind and weather to ocean currents and more.
New observations provide an extraordinarily detailed look at how stars are born in the extreme environment near the heart of the galaxy.
A team of early-career researchers say exploring how life may have evolved on far-away worlds could lead to advancements on Earth—from new sources of clean-burning fuels to technology that can pull greenhouse gases from the air.
For astronauts, coming back to Earth is one of the most dangerous parts of any mission. A new research facility addresses that challenge by creating streams of gas that flow at thousands of miles per hour and burn at temperatures of thousands of degrees Fahrenheit.
The crew of NASA's Artemis II mission are slated to launch for the moon in March. С»ÆÊé Boulder researcher Paul Hayne talks about why it's important for humans to return to the moon—and search for water in its shadowy craters.
