Student Dust Counter -
If you thought there was just empty space between the planets, think again: our solar system is actually full of tiny asteroid and planet bits. To find out what this “space dust” has to say about the history of our solar system, CU students have designed and built an interplanetary dust-catcher. Called the Student Dust Counter (SDC), this  pizza-box sized machine will travel through the solar system aboard the New Horizons spacecraft (a NASA mission to Pluto) measuring the properties of the dust that hits its detectors. Check out the Student Dust Counter web site.Student Nitric Oxide Explorer (SNOE) -
SNOE ("snowy") was a satellite designed, built, and operated by University of Colorado students and their advisors at LASP.  It's objective was to measure nitric oxide in the lower thermosphere and the sources of energy to that region that cause it to be highly variable. It was launched on February 26, 1998.

The purpose of the Solar Mesosphere Explorer mission was to investigate the processes that create and destroy ozone in Earth's upper atmosphere. The mesosphere is a layer of the atmosphere extending from the top of the stratosphere to an altitude of about 80 kilometers (50 miles). SME was built by students in 1980-81 and launched on Oct. 6, 1981. |
 in a technical setting while complementing your academic studies. There is opportunity for hands on work with flight hardware in our labs, operating satellites and instruments from our mission operations center, or to scientifically analyze data from experiments. About 1/3 of the employees at LASP are students of which about 50 are undergraduates. We hire students from many different disciplines. Below are just a few:

 explore areas of engineering and science in a more in depth setting working with and being mentored by our highly trained staff of professional engineers and scientists.
Graduate and Post Graduate students working with LASP researchers are enrolled in one of at least five different graduate programs:
