The ongoing missions and projects below benefit from a range of LASP involvement, including scientific oversight, instrument design and development, spacecraft operations, and data management.
LASP is capable of building multiple space instruments simultaneously in our state-of-the-art facilities on the CU-Boulder campus. Plus, we are able to operate up to eleven space instruments concurrently, with up to twelve space science flight programs in development at a time.
