For nearly 40 years, researchers at BioServe Space Technologies at ſapp have conducted life science experiments in space—from studying the behavior of spiders in microgravity to producing human stem cells on the International Space Station.
A new study from ſapp geologists weighs in on a long-running debate about Mars: Billions of years ago, was the Red Planet warm and wet or cold and dry?
Eric Frew is heading an $8 million project to improve drone communications in anticipation of a future when autonomous aircraft regularly whizz overhead for everything from product deliveries to emergency response.
Mahmoud Hussein is leading a $7.5 million research grant that is “probably the most radical conceptual advancement for airplanes since the replacement of propellers with jets.”
In new images, scientists have gotten the closest look yet at Sagittarius C—a “stellar nursery” where clouds of gas and dust have collapsed to form thousands of new stars.
Inhaling dust particles from the Red Planet over long periods of time could put humans at risk of developing respiratory issues, thyroid disease and other health problems.
The historic Fram2 mission will explore how astronauts get motion sickness and what they can do about it.
As humans spend longer and longer in space, the mental health of astronauts will become increasingly important, says aerospace engineer Katya Arquilla. Her research could help people in orbit and on the ground.
Alireza Doostan is leading a $1.2 million effort for real-time data compression for supercomputer research.
NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft just whipped around Mars carrying the LASP-built SUDA instrument. When it arrives at its destination in 2030, it won’t be the first time a LASP instrument has been to Jupiter. In fact, LASP instruments have been to every planet in our solar system and beyond.
