Autonomous satellite navigation is necessary to expand cislunar space operations. Oguri is making that autonomous operation possible.

Jennifer Franck presented her research into optimal phasing and spacing of hydrofoils in prototype and simulated water-powered electricity generating systems

Mathematical models would enable higher satellite densities and reduce the likelihood of collisions in the currently chaotic environment in low Earth orbit. These models can be extended to cislunar space.

The chief development officer for AAE is being recognized for her 50-year career as a high school volleyball referee.

Prashanth Bangalore Venkatesh graduated from both the MS and PhD programs in Aeronautics and Astronautics. He is now a Lead Propulsion Analyst at Agile Space Industries, Inc.

This year's theme, “Generation Mars,” highlighted that these children are the generation most likely to become the first humans to step on Mars. Several Purdue student clubs helped plan and execute some of the activities, which were centered around travel to Mars.

Aircraft avionics have hundreds of systems that are potential targets for malicious adversaries. A new course combining AAE and CERIAS, with input from Boeing, will provide dual expertise in aerospace engineering and cybersecurity.

For more than 25 years, this annual event has offered children between third and eighth grade the opportunity to meet a NASA astronaut. They also get many hands-on experiences with aerospace-themed STEM projects.

Autonomous vehicles can't filter out information they don’t need, which slows their response time. Assoc. Prof. Andres Arrieta has developed a sensor that would help reduce that processing load by simplifying the data a drone uses to assess flight conditions.

AAE Professors James Garrison and Michael Sangid were both named University Faculty Scholars (UFS) this year. The UFS program, offered through the Office of the Provost, recognizes outstanding faculty at the West Lafayette campus who are on an accelerated path for academic distinction.
