The space enterprise is congested, contested, and growing at an unprecedented rate. Shorter acquisition timelines, increased proliferation of space assets, and an elevation of the space domain in national security have created a need for greater agility in development, procurement, fielding, and operating of systems to meet these new demands.
The Aerospace Physical Sciences Laboratories provide the robust physical research backplane to implement the science-based technologies and methodologies imperative to making the leap to the next era in space. This overview outlines the focus areas driving our research portfolio.
