APL will co-host the fourth annual Virtual Workshop on 5G Technologies for First Responder and Tactical Networks on Tuesday, Dec. 14, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.

The first Operation Protovision competition features the debut of an APL-built simulation environment: the first prototype of the fully digital portion of a new live, virtual, constructive capability for weapon research and development dubbed “the Colosseum.”

Exactly 20 years ago today, NASA's TIMED mission launched from the California coast on a journey to unveil new secrets about the upper climes of Earth's atmosphere. Developed in part by Johns Hopkins APL, the mission's unrivaled 20-year dataset has provided crucial insights about space weather, Earth's climate and the evolution of planetary atmospheres.

The Space Weather Science and Observation Gap Analysis report describes the results of a science and measurement gap analysis for the Space Weather Science Application Program (SWxSA) within NASA’s Heliophysics Division.

After a decade in the making, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, which Johns Hopkins APL built and is managing, launched from the California coast early Wednesday morning. It set off to perform the world’s first full-scale test to defend Earth from a potential asteroid or comet threat.

James Bellingham, a pioneer in the worldwide autonomous marine robotics field who has led research expeditions from the Arctic to the Antarctic, was appointed as a Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Exploration Robotics.

Scientists believe that so-called magnetic anomalies hold clues to conditions on the Moon and other worlds throughout the solar system. To find out, APL leads a project not just to visit the most famous of these areas on the lunar surface but to drive right across it.

David Van Wie, an internationally renowned expert in aerospace engineering and head of the Air and Missile Defense Sector at Johns Hopkins APL, was awarded the 2021 von Kármán Lectureship in Astronautics from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA).

Honoring her career of exceptional leadership in the fields of emergency preparedness and disaster resilience, the nonprofit InfraGard organization has presented APL’s Mary Lasky with its highest honor, the Linda Franklin National Achievement Memorial Award.
