A Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ student satellite team has won a free ride to space. NASA announced last week that Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder’s Earth Escape Explorer (CU-E3) is one of three national winners in the space agency’s Cube Quest Challenge small

The shoebox-size Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØEarth Escape Explorer (CU-E3) is being assembled by the University of Colorado, Boulder, Aerospace Engineering Science Graduate Projects Class. CU-E3 is designed for a communications technology demonstration mission, slated to

Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder's QB50 CubeSat, named "Challenger," was successfully deployed from the International Space Station last night at 11:25 PM MDT.</p><p>The release coming just over a month after the satellite was launched from Cape Canveral to the ISS. Challenger is a nano-satellite, about the size of a loaf of bread, and was designed and built by students working under the direction of aerospace faculty.

A heads-up for commercial air crews and other frequent fliers: The risk of exposure to radiation particles screaming Earthward from space may increase a bit in the next few years as the activity of our sun decreases, says a Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder professor.

Congratulations to research professor Delores Knipp, who has been selected to give the 2017 CEDAR Prize Lecture. Knipp is receiving the honor for her space weather research “unraveling the physical connection between shock-led interplanetary coronal
