Projects

The laser communications payload has delivered terabytes of data from a satellite to Earth at record-breaking rates that will transform future science missions.

A constellation of small satellites is collecting rapidly refreshed weather data to advance studies of hurricane structure and intensity and improve forecasts.

By compiling lightning data, satellite imagery, and numerical weather models, the GSWR provides radar-like analyses and forecasts over regions not observed by actual weather radars.

We are designing a satellite-based lidar system to categorize aerosols in the atmosphere.

The Laboratory's long-term collaboration with NOAA and NASA on environmental monitoring satellites has led to revolutionized weather imagery and products and improved detection for space and solar phenomena.

New algorithms improve the resilience of satellite and RF systems to impacts from space weather.

A new planet hunter will spend the next two years searching for exoplanets, including those that could support life.

The ILLUMA-T will enable optical communications on the International Space Station.

Our CCDs will image X-rays emitting from elements on the surface of the asteroid Bennu.
