101 CubeSats

The goal of this project is to create a foundational enabler in the form of a low-cost CubeSat kit and develop an undergraduate course that transitions into an online course in the public domain.

COSMOS

COSMOS, or the Comprehensive Open-architecture Solution for Mission Operations Systems, was originally funded by NASA EPSCoR and consists of a system of open-source software applications that are designed to be easily adaptable for multiple missions and…

Planetary Surface Robots

Dr. Frances Zhu is the principal investigator of a robotic exploration research team. Currently, the team is building a small rover to ultimately test novel navigation, localization, dynamics, controls, and machine learning algorithms.

Design phase · University Nanosat Program

Neutron-2 Phase I

The design phase of the Neutron-2 mission, funded by the University Nanosatellite Program (UNP). Neutron-2 will measure neutron and gamma-ray flux in low Earth orbit with next-generation neutron detectors from Arizona State University.
