CCAR is a multidisciplinary group involving faculty, staff and students from the Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences. Its research program emphasizes astrodynamics, satellite meteorology, oceanography, geodesy, and terrestrial vegetation studies.
Roger A. Broucke (March 25, 1932 – June 21, 2005) was an aerospace engineer known for his solutions to the three-body problem. After working on practical orbital mechanics at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, he became a professor at the University of Texas at Austin. [1]
Orbital mechanics or astrodynamics is the application of ballistics and celestial mechanics to the practical concerning the motion of rockets, satellites, and other spacecraft. The motion of these objects is usually calculated from Newton's laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation .
SPICE data files are usually referred to as "kernels." These files provide information such as spacecraft trajectory and orientation; target body ephemeris, size and shape; instrument field-of-view size, shape and orientation; specifications for reference frames; and tabulations of time system conversion coefficients.
The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) is a research organization at the University of Colorado Boulder.LASP is a research institute with over one hundred research scientists ranging in fields from solar influences, to Earth's and other planetary atmospherics processes, space weather, space plasma and dusty plasma physics.
The Center for Advanced Engineering Environments (CAEE) is a research center within the Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology at Old Dominion University. Established in 2001, CAEE focuses on various research areas including collaborative distributed knowledge discovery, interactive visual simulations, intelligent synthesis, and the ...
The 1st Space Operations Squadron (1 SOPS) is a United States Space Force unit responsible for space-based space domain awareness.Located at Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado, the squadron operates the Space Based Space Surveillance system, the Advanced Technology Risk Reduction system, the Operationally Responsive Space-5 satellite, and the Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program.
From 2013 - 2018, SEI hosted the ASTRO (Aerospace Summer Training & Research Opportunity) for local area high school students. This was in addition to college internships that are hosted year round. ASTRO was a project-oriented experience during which participants work in teams to solve an aerospace engineering design problem.
