Featured Projects
COSI
COSI is a wide field of view gamma-ray telescope that obtains high spectral resolution from 0.2 to 5 MeV, enabling sensitive narrow line imaging of the entire Galaxy.
ESCAPADE
NASA ESCAPADE is the first UC Berkeley-led planetary mission. Its two identical satellites, Blue and Gold, will provide an unprecedented stereo view of Mars magnetosphere.…
PSYCHE
Psyche is both the name of an asteroid orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter — and the name of a NASA space mission to…
Carruthers Geocorona Observatory
NASA’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory will image Earth’s exosphere. The exosphere is the outermost layer of the atmosphere, and the geocorona is the light that emanates…

Cluster
The Cluster mission studied small-scale structures of the magnetosphere and its environment in three dimensions. Cluster was constituted of four identical spacecraft that flew in a tetrahedral configuration.
COBE
The COBE satellite was developed by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center to measure the diffuse infrared and microwave radiation from the early universe to the limits set by our astrophysical environment. It was launched November…
COS
The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) was installed on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) 2009. COS performs high-sensitivity, medium- and low-resolution spectroscopy of astronomical objects in the 815-3200 Å wavelength range. COS significantly enhances the spectroscopic capabilities of…
COSI
COSI is a wide field of view gamma-ray telescope that obtains high spectral resolution from 0.2 to 5 MeV, enabling sensitive narrow line imaging of the entire Galaxy.
CURIE
NASA’s CubeSat Radio Interferometry Experiment (CURIE) investigated the unresolved origins of radio waves coming from the Sun.
DESI
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will measure the effect of dark energy on the expansion of the universe. It will obtain optical spectra for tens of millions of galaxies and quasars, constructing a 3D…
EBEX
The E and B Experiment (EBEX) was a balloon-borne polarimeter designed to measure the intensity and polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. Measurements of the polarization of the CMB could probe an inflationary…
EDGES
The Experiment to Detect the Global EoR Signature (EDGES) detected the global 21-cm signal from the cosmic dawn and characterize the diffuse synchrotron radiation from the Milky Way.
EMM
The Emirates Mars Mission aims to draw a clear and comprehensive picture of the Martian climate, which will give scientists deeper insight into the past and future of our own planet as well as the…
EOA
The Enceladus Organic Analyzer (EOA) is a novel microchip-based technology enabling analysis of organic molecules in extraterrestrial environments such as that of Saturn’s moon Enceladus.
