After two years of progress in developing a beyond state-of-the-art computer model, the APL-hubbed Center for Geospace Storms will continue expanding for an additional five years, NASA recently announced, citing the center’s significant potential to transform the fields of space weather and space physics.

APL, in partnership with Sandia National Laboratories, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Idaho National Laboratory, is leading the development of the first-ever comprehensive, integrated and automated solution for industrial control system (ICS) cybersecurity.

APL's Ralph Lorenz is part of an international science team performing the first analysis of acoustics on Mars, releasing a new study that details how fast sound travels through the Red Planet’s extremely thin, mostly carbon-dioxide atmosphere and how Mars might sound to human ears.

To improve the quality of pediatric CPR, immersive technology specialists at APL and pediatric emergency physicians from Johns Hopkins Children’s Center are developing an augmented-reality-based CPR coaching system to be used in community care settings.

The U.S. Space Force received Deep Space Advanced Radar Concept (DARC) technology from APL, which acted as design agent of the government reference architecture for the operational program.

APL is analyzing application scenarios for large structures manufactured in space, a capability to be enabled by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency NOM4D program.

As one of 120 women in STEM to be honored with a statue on the National Mall, Johns Hopkins APL’s Ciara Sivels is part of the #IfThenSheCan exhibit, the centerpiece of the Smithsonian’s Women’s Futures Month. Her statue is on display in the National Air and Space Museum through March 27.

As he ties up a decades-long career in the space domain, former APL Space Exploration Sector head Mike Ryschkewitsch has been recognized with the National Space Club and Foundation’s Norman J. Baker Astronautics Engineer Award.

The Dragonfly guest investigator program includes opportunities for early career scientists and engineers to gain experience during all phases of the game-changing NASA rotorcraft-lander mission to Saturn’s moon Titan.

By linking two existing operational capabilities, scientists and engineers at APL have created a tool to arm first responders with crucial information by computing the impact of natural disaster damage on a given mission.
