UAH researcher awarded $650K to develop propulsion system to boost surveillance of space between Earth and Moon
Dr. John Bennewitz, an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), has been awarded a $650,000, 45-month Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) grant to develop an advanced propulsion system that will facilitate surveillance of space between the Earth and the Moon by the United States Space Force.
UAH wins top prize at two NASA Artemis Student Challenges in same year, marking historic first
The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, has claimed the top prize for two NASA Artemis Student Challenges. The 2023 Human Exploration Rover Challenge and the 2023 Student Launch Challenge, led by NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, marks a historic achievement, as no other university has ever won two NASA Marshall-led Artemis Challenges in the same year.
Nuclear thermal propulsion research by UAH’s Saroj Kumar earns international award
The awards just keep coming for the nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) research being done at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) by Saroj Kumar. Kumar was one of just five total winners globally in the International Astronautical Federation’s 73rd International Astronautical Congress IP Competition.
Alabama student satellite group shifts gears to ABEX mission to keep up with NASA
The Alabama Space Grant Consortium’s statewide, university student-built cube satellite project is shifting gears to ABEX, the Alabama Burst Energetics eXplorer, after its drive to be the first student-built Cubesat to leave low Earth orbit (LEO) was derailed when NASA dropped secondary payloads from the Artemis II flight.
DoD grant for new equipment boosts UAH’s hypersonics fuel research
Scientists at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of the University of Alabama System, plan to research new fuels for hypersonic vehicles once chromatography/mass spectroscopy equipment arrives later this year at the Propulsion Research Center (PRC).
Rotating Detonation Engine test-fired for first time at UAH’s Johnson Research Center
A Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) has been test-fired for the first time at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of the University of Alabama System. RDEs are a tantalizing engineering concept that could be transformative for rocket propulsion
