LASP has contributed to space missions since the 1960s, as the list below attests. Our mission involvement has included scientific oversight, instrument design and development, spacecraft operations, and data management. For some missions, LASP’s role has involved all of these areas.
CU-Boulder students have been integral to our success from the beginning.
