Interplanetary Initiative at Arizona State University

Another incredible year of momentum! 🚀 We expanded our reach to inspire future space leaders by serving middle and high school students, teachers, and industry professionals. By uniting experts from diverse fields, we've launched 13 pilot projects. Our ASU Space Collective is thriving with nine commercial partners, and the Arizona Space Summit brought together 150 industry leaders. Plus, Space-Edge is accelerating the next generation of space businesses. Thank YOU for being part of this journey!

The Interplanetary Initiative at Arizona State University hosted a series of Microgravity Summer Institute for Middle School Teachers workshops across three universities this summer including Arizona State University the University of Colorado Boulder and Stanford University! Funded by an International Space Station National Laboratory grant and in collaboration with Orion's Quest, the program provided teachers with hands-on activities and curriculum to spark students’ love of space science within their own classrooms.

Pico Balloon Launch SUCCESS! 🚀 A tiny but mighty pico balloon took flight near Fountain Hills last Friday! This joint effort between the ASU Interplanetary Lab and OWL Integrations is collecting valuable data as it soars through the atmosphere. Huge congrats to Project Manager Ysabella McAuliffe and the team for making this happen! Stay tuned for updates! #ASUSpace #SpaceExploration

High above Paris on the International Space Station, astronauts are once again hosting their own version of the Summer Olympics. There are just a couple differences: no gravity and no losers! In this video, we look at the historical intertwining of two celebrations of human excellence: space exploration and the Olympics. At Space For Humans, we believe you don’t have to go to space to feel its impact. Join us for weekly videos from Arizona State University faculty and students as we explore how cutting-edge space technologies are already transforming the world around us! #olympics, #paris2024, #spacerace #ASUspace Presented by Interplanetary Initiative at Arizona State University and EdPlus at Arizona State University. Hosted by Sarah Smeh. Written by Amanda Kehrberg, directed and edited by Ricardo Leon. With executive producer Matthew Robinson, producer Eric Stribling, and associate producers Elizabeth Blythe-Lee, M. Ed. and Dania Wright.

Who watches the watchers? Earth Observation (EO) satellites, of course! As nations around the world gather for the 2024 Paris Olympics to celebrate and compete in a show of peace, circling satellites overhead are working hard to help preserve that peace. In this transmission, we explore how EO satellites keep countries honest and support nuclear non-proliferation. At Space For Humans, we believe you don’t have to go to space to feel its impact. Join us for weekly videos from ASU faculty and students as we explore how cutting-edge space technologies are already transforming the world around us!

How do we make space for everyone? In this series, we’re exploring how to design equitable and inclusive space futures. But we can’t look forward without looking back - at how spaces here on Earth have been divided and designed unjustly. In this video, Dr. Brownlee joins us to unpack how redlining continues to impact communities of color today. At Space For Humans, we believe you don’t have to go to space to feel its impact.
