Current Projects
- PolarCube - A CubeSat which will explore climate change by obtaining an atmospheric temperature profile.
- STEAM (STudent Energetic Activity Module) - A student mission on the SwRI PUNCH spacecraft. Students will design, build, and integrate an x-ray spectrometer that will compliment the overall PUNCH science mission. STEAM is focused on finding signatures of the coronal heating mechanisms on solar streams to be observed by PUNCH.
- Ground Station and Ground Segment - VHF/UHF satellite tracking communication station. Developing the infrastructure to support multiple missions. This involves tracking satellites and downlinking data such as weather images.
- Ken Souza Memorial Competition: Team ARES - Submission to the Ken Souza Memorial Student Spaceflight Research Competition - vying for a flight on a Blue Origin New Shepard Rocket, exploring the viability of antibiotic compounds in microgravity. Also designing a balloon payload which will test sensors used in the rocket payload on a near space flight.
- RocketSat-13: The current RocketSat project is with an industry collaborator investigating mechanisms used for solar panel deployment.
- JANE (Joining Antarctica's Next generations of Engineers) - Working with the NSIDC designing and programming devices used for a two-year mission in Antarctica.
- Lab Team - A team to build resources for Space Grant Projects and educational resources for Colorado.
- Industry Collaborations - We develop industry collaborations and help place qualified students with interesting and valuable indstury positions.
- C-Base - Developing sounding balloon capabilities at CU Boulder, collaborating with Edge of Space Sciences.
- Analog Space Suit Project - Partnering with faculty at CU Boulder to create an analog planetary space suit that accurately mimics the movement restriction and life support aspects of space suits with analog fidelity.
