NASA will likely be launching astronauts to visit the Moon this week, for the first time in over 50 years!

Artemis II to the Moon: Launch to Splashdown (NASA Mission Animation) The Artemis II mission, slated to launch early 2026, will fly four astronauts around the Moon. This mission will last for about 10 days and will be the first...

Thanks for all who came out last week to our tour with ASME of Valar Atomics!

Did you know that Utah made a bid to Congress in 1971 to launch the space shuttle from the West Desert? While the shuttle never launched from here, some in Utah still believe the state could be host to a useful spaceport, and the state government is onboard.

The RPO Workshop is happening in Logan at the Space Dynamics Laboratory this week! Great to see so many Utah engineers contributing to the future of spaceflight!

Thanks to DPS Skis, ASME, and everyone who made it out to the tour yesterday! Look out for more seminars and events in the near future!

Another great seminar is happening at The University of Utah on February 24th at 4:00pm! Join us in welcoming Dr. Akbar Shah as he gives a presentation on his work with Northrop Grumman on the HALO Module, which is the first habitable element of NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's lunar Gateway space station!

We are hosting a tour of DPS Skis in Salt Lake City on February 12th, 2026 at 6pm! Send us a private message if you are interested in joining!

DPS | Premium Carbon Fiber Skis Built in the USA DPS is about the mystery encountered in a slide across deep snow. With its roots in high-performance powder culture, DPS has pioneered the use of aerospace carbon fiber and a sandwich construction to build skis that are lighter, stronger, and more powerful than conventionally-built skis. The fusion....

📅 Join us on January 29th for a technical talk by Dr. Matthew Givens on spacecraft hosted by The University of Utah!

We had a great time touring the Utah Telescope Array earlier this week!

Last chance to join us at the tour! Send us an email at [email protected].

Home Telescope Array Project - the largest cosmic ray physics experiment in the northern hemisphere.

Join AIAA Utah on a tour of the The University of Utah Cosmic Ray Center in Delta, UT on October 16th! Please DM us if you wish to RSVP.

In 1991, the Fly's Eye cosmic ray observatory in western Utah observed the most energetic particle ever witnessed (the "Oh-My-God" particle), which seemingly violated the generally-accepted GZK speed limit for cosmic rays.

The Telescope Array observatory, the descendant of the Fly's Eye, recently observed the nearly as energetic "Amaterasu" particle. If those two discoveries were not enough, the James Webb space telescope has found what appear to be galaxies too far away to be explained by our current understanding of the formation of the universe.

Discover contributions to advancement of science in Utah. It’s a long drive, but an adventure worth your investment in time. Many thanks to University of Utah faculty and staff!
