While technological advances will play a central role in enabling commercial uncrewed aircraft systems, the successful implementation of these systems will depend more on public confidence than on any technical achievement.

Five staff members at APL have been honored with Black Engineer of the Year Awards for their innovative leadership in science, technology, engineering and math.

The team behind NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) has been selected to receive the 2023 Space Achievement Award, a top award from the Space Foundation. This annual award recognizes individuals or organizations that have demonstrated breakthrough space technology or program success representing milestones in space exploration.

Submitting a Request for Analysis for AN/TPY-2 radar search plans used to be a long process that produced a limited result, but APL has conceptualized a way to transform a static document into a dynamic computer program, known as a planner.

After a successful mission-level design review, the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe team got NASA’s go-ahead to continue working on the spacecraft, instruments and systems. Johns Hopkins APL is building and will operate IMAP, which is set for a 2025 launch.

Minh Huebner has been named chief financial officer and head of APL’s Business, Construction and Facilities Department, effective Jan. 30. She will provide executive leadership and management for APL enterprise business services such as finance and accounting, prime contracting, procurement, regulatory compliance, construction, and facilities maintenance and renovation.

With more than 80 interns on board, the APL Technology Leaders and Scholars (ATLAS) program at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, wrapped up its 23rd summer last year with its largest cohort ever.

As sea levels continue to rise, and the need to safeguard our coastlines increases, Johns Hopkins APL researchers are using materials science and marine biology to study and support natural structures that can mitigate erosion.

A team led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, has confirmed the discovery of an exoplanet — a planet orbiting another star — by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.

For the second year in a row, APL was honored with a Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award as one of the top 100 Best Places to Work among large U.S. companies.
