Mark Geyer (BSAAE '82, MSAAE '84), who became the 12th director of NASA's Johnson Space Center in late May, is ready to remind the world NASA is "back in the business of launching people" into space.

The School of Aeronautics and Astronautics developed the "launchboxes" so K-12 schools can conduct zero-gravity experiments in space.

A group of students in Purdue's School of Aeronautics and Astronautics won NASA's University Student Research Challenge but still has work to do to secure a grant.

Utsav Jain, a Ph.D student in Purdue's School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, has spent the summer at the FAA's William J. Hughes Technical Center in Atlantic City, N.J.

Hsu Lo Distinguished Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics Kathleen Howell -- and a near-rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO), a specialty of hers -- was featured in Bloomberg Businessweek.
