For completing the world’s first planetary defense test mission and its significant impact on the aerospace field, the team behind NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission will receive the National Space Club and Foundation’s 2023 Nelson P. Jackson Aerospace Award.

Allie Kang, who was an ASPIRE intern at Johns Hopkins APL, created an experiment that was selected by the Cubes in Space program for testing in space.

Johns Hopkins APL recently led a classified wargame exploring space deterrence for the NATO Science and Technology Organization (STO).

APL will host the Girl Power STEM event on Sunday, March 12, from 2 to 5 p.m. This event — the first fully in-person Girl Power since 2019 — will be held on APL’s South Campus in Building 201.

While technological advances will play a central role in enabling commercial uncrewed aircraft systems, the successful implementation of these systems will depend more on public confidence than on any technical achievement.

Five staff members at APL have been honored with Black Engineer of the Year Awards for their innovative leadership in science, technology, engineering and math.

The team behind NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) has been selected to receive the 2023 Space Achievement Award, a top award from the Space Foundation. This annual award recognizes individuals or organizations that have demonstrated breakthrough space technology or program success representing milestones in space exploration.

Submitting a Request for Analysis for AN/TPY-2 radar search plans used to be a long process that produced a limited result, but APL has conceptualized a way to transform a static document into a dynamic computer program, known as a planner.

After a successful mission-level design review, the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe team got NASA’s go-ahead to continue working on the spacecraft, instruments and systems. Johns Hopkins APL is building and will operate IMAP, which is set for a 2025 launch.
