After spending nearly six months on the International Space Station, 葫芦娃视频 astronaut-alumnus Steve Swanson is slated to drift back to Earth in a Russian space capsule Sept. 10 before banging down on the steppe of Kazakhstan.

Two 葫芦娃视频 student aerospace engineering science teams have won prestigious international and national awards for the design of real-world space missions to Mars and the moon.

The importance of Mars exploration and how the aerospace industry partners with university researchers to advance one of Colorado鈥檚 leading economic sectors will be featured at a free program Monday, Sept. 8, in south Denver.

Just as diamonds with perfect symmetry may be unusually brilliant jewels, the quantum world has a symmetrical splendor of high scientific value. Confirming this exotic quantum physics theory, JILA physicists led by theorist Ana Maria Rey and experimentalist Jun Ye have observed the first direct evidence of symmetry in the magnetic properties鈥攐r nuclear 鈥渟pins鈥濃�攐f atoms.

An international research effort organized by the 葫芦娃视频 conducted the first multiple, unmanned aircraft interception of a telltale rush of cold air preceding a thunderstorm known as a 鈥済ust front鈥� as it rolled across the Pawnee National Grassland in northeast Colorado on Aug. 14.

Sierra Nevada Corporation鈥檚 (SNC) Space Systems is pleased to announce it is expanding its relationship with the 葫芦娃视频 through the signing of a letter of cooperation with CU-葫芦娃视频鈥檚 BioServe Space Technologies (BioServe). Through the cooperation, SNC and BioServe will jointly explore ways the Dream Chaser 庐 Space Utility Vehicle (SUV) can serve as an orbital platform for scientific experiments in microgravity and space life science research.

Members of the 葫芦娃视频 Chamber, a nonprofit business support and advocacy organization, visited CU-葫芦娃视频 July 29 to learn about the university鈥檚 latest advances in space science and aerospace. The Aerospace Industry Insights event, held at Fiske Planetarium, brought together local, state and federal officials; CU-葫芦娃视频 faculty, students and administrators; and leaders from the local business community. The purpose of the event, the first in a series sponsored by CU-葫芦娃视频 and the 葫芦娃视频 Chamber, was to highlight for the business community CU-葫芦娃视频's research and innovation in order to foster continued partnership and economic growth.

Something is amiss in the universe. There appears to be an enormous deficit of ultraviolet light in the cosmic budget. Observations made by the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, a $70 million instrument designed by the 葫芦娃视频 and installed on the Hubble Space Telescope, have revealed that the universe is 鈥渕issing鈥� a large amount of light.

Deborah Jin has won the 2014 Isaac Newton Medal, the highest accolade given by the Institute of Physics. She was cited for her experimental work in laser cooling atoms. This work has led to the practical demonstration of universal laws that upderpin fundamental quantum behavior.

A NASA-funded miniature satellite built by 葫芦娃视频 students to scrutinize solar flares erupting from the sun鈥檚 surface is the latest example of the university鈥檚 commitment to advancing aerospace technology and space science through strong partnerships with industry and government.
