Sixteen 抖阴旅行射 Boulder astronaut affiliates have flown on forty space shuttle missions!聽Join some of the leaders in aerospace technologies in learning about what it takes to be an aerospace engineer. In this Academy, we'll meet scientists from the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), learn about astrobiology, and plan our mission to Mars. We'll get a chance to see one of only a few university-based Mission Operations Centers, where LASP undergraduate and graduate students perform mission operations for NASA satellites totaling more than $1.5 billion in value. Additionally, we'll get a chance to work on gliders, airfoils, jet engines, and testing composites for aircraft wings. Finally, we'll learn about alternative applications of aerospace such as wind turbines and parachutes.
