When you can't get to space, parabolic flights provide a helpful microgravity analogue. An Aerospace researcher got a chance to perform an experiment on one of these flights earlier this year, and now you can see what it...

In the latest episode of Tech Talks, Aerospace's Kevin Bell interviews Ben Bycroft, head of the CAVE Lab and director of the department that runs it.

The threat of critical space infrastructure being disabled with nothing more than a keyboard has prompted a wave of cybersecurity research in the domain, including a new tool from Aerospace engineers called SPARTEND.

Aerospace recently hosted a group of commercial companies and researchers for a live demo of a digital wargame called Spoon Bender that simulates complex satellite conflict on orbit. The software is being adapted as a...

Commercial innovation is driving transformation of the space enterprise in low Earth orbit, cislunar space, the Moon, and beyond. How can such a fast-moving, complex endeavor be guided? A new paper from Aerospace...

There's a new satellite in orbit, just launched by India's ISRO space agency. The NISAR mission will soon begin the task of scanning the Earth's surface with unprecedented precision, and Aerospace helped prepare it for...

The latest episode of Tech Talks takes on the question of radiation in space and its effects on electronics in spacecraft.

Aerospace has a long history of pioneering new satellite form factors, such as CubeSats. The latest innovation is DiskSat, a type of spacecraft only 2.5 centimeters thick but still highly capable and versatile.

To prepare for the next stage of space exploration and habitation, researchers here on Earth must practice in the nearest thing we have to other worlds.

Cislunar space is filling up, and researchers at Aerospace have created a simulation of it where operators can practice safe and effective missions and communications.

Spaceports are becoming key facilities in the rapidly growing space ecosystem, but building one is neither simple nor without risk, according to this new paper.

AI systems are being deployed left and right, but putting AI to work in space operations is a considerably more complex endeavor. A new paper outlines why and offers a few options for how development might proceed.

An Aerospace-NASA collaboration attempts to address the difficulty of precision navigation in cislunar space.

Juan Rodriguez brings a family legacy of engineering for space to Aerospace's Vehicle Autonomy and System Trust department and the CAVE lab.

Experts at Aerospace are closely tracking the expected (but uncontrolled) reentry of Cosmos 482 and updating their predictions of its reentry path as new data becomes available.

Space debris is a serious threat that only grows as the number of launches and satellites rises exponentially. If you're curious about the source, scale, and history of the problem, you could do a lot worse than this 101...

As the space around the Moon and Mars become popular destinations for both commercial and government spacecraft, communication is key — and the infrastructure out there is nowhere near robust enough to handle the...

Hagop Chinchinian does tracking and analysis work that's vital for situational awareness and resiliency of both national security and commercial space. Hear his story in this Innovation Spotlight!

The European Union is preparing to release the EU Space Act later in 2025, which will establish new regulations and requirements for space companies providing services within its dominion.

It's part of a tentative global...

One of the most intractable challenges to realizing space innovation is the “flight-proven” paradox, in which new technologies lack flight heritage and struggle to gain the confidence of the investors, insurers, buyers...
