CSU-led NASA satellite mission, set to launch in 2026, was built on giants
The $177 million INCUS satellite mission continues a rich history of CSU-led atmospheric science and Earth observations.
The $177 million INCUS satellite mission continues a rich history of CSU-led atmospheric science and Earth observations.
The mission, led by atmospheric scientist Susan van den Heever, is called INCUS and is expected to launch in 2027 as part of NASA's Earth Venture Program.
Scientists in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at CSU are working with NASA to understand how to travel greater distances more safely and sustainably into deep space.
Systems engineering Ph.D. student Paulo Younse, a robotics engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, helped develop the sealing mechanism for the sample tubes Perseverance carries.
As a team member of the Mars 2020 mission that landed the Perseverance rover on February 18, 2021, Beauchamp is the test lead for the Terminal Descent Sensor, a six-antenna radar used to measure the range and velocity of the landing system relative to the surface.
