We’re pleased to celebrate Lori Magruder, professor of @UTAerospace and director of @UTCSR , on joining the leadership team working to bring the U.S. Space Academy to Texas. Congratulations, Dr. Magruder! gov.texas.gov/news/post/gove…
Proud to share that Lori Magruder joined UT System leadership in signing a new Space Act Agreement with NASA to deepen collaboration in critical space research. Pictured with Chancellor John Zerwas at NASA JSC, she also met UT Aerospace alumni Jack Tanner and Judd Frieling. 🤘
Congratulations to Lori Magruder and the collaboration teams at the @UTCSR and @OregonState on their paper, ICESat-2 Coastal and Nearshore Bathymetry Product Algorithm Development, being published in AGU's Earth and Space Science! buff.ly/W4DMhck
174 passionate #NASASEES high school interns spent the summer turning space data into real-world solutions - from asteroid sampling to wildfire tracking - through hands-on projects and mentorship. The future of aerospace looks bright! science.nasa.gov/science-res…

Have you signed up to fly your name around the Moon?
If not, there’s still time to send your name with our crew on the Artemis II mission! Submitted names will be stored on a memory card inside the Orion spacecraft. Join the flight: go.nasa.gov/artemisnames

The boarding pass says “Your Name Here.” Behind the boarding pass is an image with part of the Orion spacecraft at the bottom left corner and the Moon on the right half of the image. Above Orion reads, “Get your Artemis II boarding pass!” in white text against the black background. Credit: NASA

🌟 Faculty Opening! 🌟 @UTAerospace invites applicants for a full-time tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Asst. Prof. Come help us shape the future of aerospace engineering while changing the world! Full job posting and application details 👉 ae.utexas.edu/people/faculty…
We extend our congratulations to Dr. Lori Magruder’s graduate student, Jonathan Sipps, for successfully defending his Ph.D. dissertation! 👏🤘
NASA uses satellite lidar technology to study Earth’s forests, key carbon sinks. The Center's Amy Neuenschwander talks about ICESat-2 for biomass estimation in From Space to Soil: How NASA Sees Forests.
Better together 🤝
NASA’s ICESat-2 satellite and GEDI instrument on the @Space_Station work together to give us the most complete view yet of Earth’s forests!
They each map forests in 3D, helping scientists understand the carbon stored within our forests.

From a small town in India to the stars 🌌
Texas Engineer Maruthi Akella, professor in @UTAerospace, had an asteroid named after him — a rare and special honor. The asteroid, called "Maruthiakella," is about 5.5 miles wide and orbits between Mars and Jupiter.
