AETHER will make the first global measurements of the coupling between the magnetosphere and the Earth’s upper atmosphere to predict extreme conditions in space that can impact society and exploration.
The Libera mission to measure Earth’s outgoing energy passed Key Decision Point C—one of several go/no go NASA reviews—and will now proceed to the final design and fabrication phase.
NASA selected LASP to operate the NEO Surveyor space telescope that will help meet a Congressional mandate to detect asteroids and comets that could threaten Earth.
The visit showcased the transformational research and innovative engineering solutions by LASP and its federal partners to members of the U.S. House committee and Colorado’s congressional delegation.
