At this week's meeting we had Lizzie Kimmel (MS) presenting her work in “Deep Space Relay Trajectory and Station-Keeping Analysis,” and Hephzibah Christopher (PhD) talk about her water ice modelling work for the NASA VIPER mission! 🛰️🌕

From everyone here at SSDL, we wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃🚀🛰️

As finals get going on full swing, wishing all of our students the very best of luck! 🚀💯🛰️

We’re proud to announce the next leader of GTaerospace: Our very own Mitchell Walker. A recognized expert in electric propulsion for spacecraft, Walker will guide the top public AE program in the nation starting Jan. 2. b.gatech.edu/41ksLfi

Yesterday marked one year since Lunar Flashlight launched! 🚀🛰️ Our ops team consisting of grad and undergrad students at SSDL and GTRI who've been operating the satellite for a year, got together for a little celebration to mark this exciting milestone! 🎉

A hearty congratulations to all of our graduates! We're all proud of the work you've done as members of SSDL and can't wait to see all the great work y'all will do in the future! Good luck! 🚀💯🛰️

From everyone here at SSDL, wishing y'all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🌲🎉⛄

A great start to the New Year! Congrats to PhD student Samuel Hart for winning the Best Small Satellite Student Paper of 2024 AIAA Scitech for his work on "Leveraging Phase Change for CubeSat Propellant Positioning"! 🎉🚀🛰️

Congratulations to SSDL undergrad researchers- Katherine Anderson & James Shin, on being selected for the 2024 Matthew Isakowitz Foundation Programs! 👏 Good luck to both of you this summer! Katherine will be Starfish Space & James SpaceX! 💯🚀🌌

ICYMI: AE student Sam Hart received @AIAA's Best Small Satellite Student Paper Award last month for his heart-shaped propellant management device used for CubeSats. #ValentinesDay #GTaerospace 💛 ae.gatech.edu/news/2024/01/a…

.Georgia Tech Optical Navigation algorithm by GTaerospace and GT Space Systems Design Laboratory’s John Christian is going to the moon with IM-1 Intuitive Machines Odysseus lander ae.gatech.edu/news/2024/02/g…

The IM-1 landing later today is sure going to be keenly watched by all of SSDL as one of our professors, Dr. Christian and his research group developed the optical navigation algorithm for landing on the Moon! 🌕

Georgia Tech Giving Day is about finding what matters most to you and helping ensure our continued success for years to come. Our alumni are asking you to get involved with challenges that increase the impact of your gift. Make a difference today: bit.ly/3wsUoY0 #GTGives

Check out this cool project launching to the ISS tomorrow!

A.C. Charania, chief technologist NASA & GTaerospace alum, provided the keynote address for the Yuri’s Day Symposium. He discussed human space exploration, the evolution of the Moon to Mars program & the global impact of both. space.gatech.edu Georgia Tech College of Engineering

Congrats to PhD students Eric Comstock & Theo St. Francis for receiving the 2024 U.S. National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship! The program will support their research in magnetohydrodynamic Air-Breathing Electric Propulsion & multiphase mass transport in low-gravity water electrolysis. 👏🚀

Excited to partner with our friends in @GTSciences to build the nation’s geospace physics capacity. Thanks to U.S. National Science Foundation, we’ll hire a scholar-teacher to help address a critical shortage in solar-terrestrial science & space weather. Details: b.gatech.edu/4avL9Vd

🚀 Congratulations on a job well done NASA, Boeing Space, and ULA!
