The professor emeritus of aeronautics and astronautics launched Stanford’s Aerospace Robotics Lab and helped design the device that successfully tested the theory of relativity.
When the moon blocks the sun during an eclipse we can see around its edges. Satellites being developed at Stanford seek to use that concept to find planets orbiting distant stars.
Space robots traveling through space, hauling debris, and exploring distant asteroids, may hold the key to problems facing drones and autonomous cars on Earth.
When tiny particles of space debris slam into satellites, the collision could cause the emission of hardware-frying radiation. Christopher Intagliata reports.
A new major in aeronautics and astronautics also includes electives to ensure that non-majors can work with UAVs, satellites, autonomous systems, and other flight technologies.
