Scientific American spotlight on Artemis interviews AES faculty member
Iain Boyd was interviewed for a new piece on NASA's Artemis missions.
Boyd, a professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences, is a leading researcher in hypersonic aerothermodynamics.
The article focuses on delays to Artemis driven by an investigation into the main material of the Orion capsule’s heat shield, an epoxy resin called Avcoat that misbehaved during Artemis I.
NASA says the results of the research have pushed back launch of Artemis II to at least 2026.
