Aerospace and Earth and Planetary Sciences
Located in "Space City," we lead in sustainable space exploration and planetary sciences.
Our efforts include creating advanced materials for spacecraft, developing life-support
systems for long-duration missions, and applying AI-driven technologies for disaster
risk reduction and environmental resilience. We investigate Earth's formation and
evolution alongside other planetary systems.

Mixed Reality Raises the Bar for Space Architecture
Inside the space architecture lab, students hover above the ground, using mixed reality
in a specially designed cage room to revolutionize the way space structures are designed.
The technologies allow them to virtually walk on the moon or Mars with the goal of
optimizing the design process for crewed space missions.
