Tour of ASU Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building IV
With ASU NewSpace and ASU Interplanetary Initiative
Presenters:
Scott Smas

Associate Professor Hongbin Yu
Assistant Professor Yuji Zhao
Professor Marc Mignolet
Arizona State University (ASU) researchers are changing how we explore the universe.
ASU NewSpace, the Space Technology and Science Initiative, is defining and transforming the future of academic-private space partnerships. These partnerships with space exploration science and technology companies, from small start-ups working on technology projects out of someone’s garage to companies with thousands of employees designing and building new rockets, enable new avenues of research and development in space science, planetary science, and engineering at ASU.
Distinguished presenters will provide insights on a few campus-wide initiative level projects that demonstrate and highlight the goals, processes, interests, challenges and successes of creative and innovative partnerships. Attendees will have a firsthand opportunity to learn how small, agile, entrepreneurial companies and small, inexpensive devices are successfully shaping how we think, build, design and operate space-related projects and applications.
