Shortly after it arrived at Johns Hopkins APL, the Italian Space Agency’s first-ever deep-space miniaturized satellite, called LICIACube, was installed on DART. The CubeSat will snap images of DART as it performs its final maneuver: a deliberate crash into an asteroid.

Genomics work has historically been the province of small, highly specialized laboratories with access to top-of-the-line hardware, infrastructure support and technical expertise. Now, a software platform developed largely by APL is making advanced genomics tools accessible and user-friendly for scientists and public health workers around the world.

APL has been working with the U.S. Army to develop an experimental prototype for the Multi-Domain Task Force for situational awareness, targeting and intelligence preparation of the operational environment at the security level of the unit.

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, are applying expertise in sensing and modeling to predict Earth system changes, providing data to support decisions on the national security aspects of mitigating effects of climate change.

Two engineers at Johns Hopkins APL have been honored by the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) for their significant technical and outreach contributions.

APL scientists have made significant progress toward creating the first worldwide, near-real-time inventory of road transportation emissions, contributing a major piece to a larger effort to monitor greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale, known as Climate TRACE.

George Ho, a space and planetary physicist at APL, was tapped by NOAA to serve on its new Space Weather Advisory Group. The board will counsel the federal government on mitigating and responding to the deleterious effects of space weather on the nation’s space assets and humanity.

Located in the state with the nation's second-largest aerospace industry, APL's newest field office in Colorado Springs, Colorado, opened its doors this summer. The office lies near Schriever Air Force Base and Peterson Air Force Base and is co-located with other government, industry and academic organizations.

A cadre of senior Marine Corps aviation leaders left APL impressed after an eye-opening overview from the Tactical Advancements for the Next Generation (TANG) team's USMC Future Vertical Lift (FVL) Cockpit Experience project.
