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…

Stardust@Home
Stardust@Home Invited citizen scientists to participate in the search for evidence of interstellar dust in the aerogel and aluminum foil collectors returned by the Stardust mission in 2006. Volunteers used an online virtual microscope to search…
STEREO
STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) was launched in 2006, employing two nearly identical space-based observatories – one ahead of Earth in its orbit, the other trailing behind – to provide the first-ever stereoscopic measurements to…
TEDI Palomar
The TEDI project involved building an EDI interferometer to fit inside the Cassegrain output hole of the Mt. Palomar 200 inch telescope to demonstrate a novel technique for a Doppler planet search in the near…
THEMIS
The Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) mission studies how mass and energy move through the near-Earth space environment to determine the physical processes initiating auroras. It was originally comprised of…
THEMIS-ARTEMIS
NASA’s THEMIS-ARTEMIS mission is made up of two probes: P1 and P2. They were originally part of the successful THEMIS (Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms) mission that orbited Earth and studied…
TRACERS
The goal of the Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) mission is to connect the magnetospheric cusp to the magnetopause and discover how spatial or temporal variations in magnetic reconnection drive cusp dynamics.…
TRICE-2
The Twin Rockets to Investigate Cusp Electrodynamics (TRICE-2) explored magnetic reconnection—the explosive process that allows charged particles from space to stream into Earth’s atmosphere. The results promise to shed light on the fundamental process of…
ULYSSES
The joint ESA-NASA Ulysses mission made nearly three complete orbits of the Sun during more than 18 years in service.
Van Allen Probes
Originally designed for a two-year mission, NASA’s Van Allen Probes A and B launched on Aug. 30, 2012, and gathered unprecedented data on the Van Allen belts for almost seven years. The mission made several major discoveries…
Wind
Wind is a spin-stabilized spacecraft that observes the solar wind that is about to impact the magnetosphere of Earth.
