Taylor Peterson’s research will focus on the boiling effect of super-cooled cryogenic propellant in microgravity and will support NASA’S Artemis program.

Data from 25 comets were compiled to test predictions of solar system formation and evolution.

The project focuses on rotating detonation rocket engines, which use high-energy explosions to produce more energy with less fuel, improving engine efficiency and cutting down space travel costs and emissions.

Using resources found in space to construct off-world structures can drastically reduce the need to transport building materials for programs like Artemis.

Called a “treasure trove of data” for planetary scientists, the study is the largest ever published on radar observations of near-Earth asteroids.

What exactly does it take to pull off the Space Game every year? A lot of planning and a little bit of stardust.

The organization will recognize mechanical engineering student Lauren Bansberg ’20 for her academic merits and promising leadership abilities this Thursday at an awards dinner.

The discovery is an example of progress in global efforts to characterize potentially hazardous asteroids and shows planetary defense programs at work.

The work will have applications in hydrogen-based turbines for electricity production, space travel and storage and transportation of hydrogen.
