Research

View past student research

Astronomy

Astronomy

The UND Observatory primarily supports broadband photometric research projects for asteroids, variable stars, and exoplanets, as well as stellar visible-λ spectroscopic research. In addition, the observatory has full functionality to conduct LRGB and narrowband imaging. Long-term, institutional efforts to obtain, define, and characterize Main Belt and near-Earth asteroids via astrometry and photometry complements observations of these bodies by national observatories. The other primary goal of the UND Observatory is to support MS students with their individual research projects.

High-Altitude Balloon Program

High-Altitude Balloon Program

UND Space Studies' student-led high-altitude balloon program routinely launches helium-filled latex balloons into the stratosphere.

Near-Earth and Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopy

Near-Earth and Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopy

UND Space Studies has supported several research projects to study the surface mineralogy of both near-Earth and mail-belt asteroids.

Planetary Industrial Operations

Planetary Industrial Operations

Resources must be located, extracted, and refined to produce and distribute the products needed for sustainment and growth. The development of such integrated production systems is the focus of this research area.

STEM Education

Space and STEM Education

As aerospace professionals, we understand the importance of inspiring the next generation of explorers. Research on effective strategies in STEM education is paramount.

Space Law & Policy

Space Law and Policy

Students have an opportunity to study and research, as well as post their own views on, the role of government in space exploration and legal issues associated with private industry in space.

Planetary Surface Habitation

Spacesuit Research/Planetary Surface Habitation

Many students are heavily involved in a variety of topics (planetary spacesuits, rovers, robotic systems, and planetary surface habitats) with this NASA-funded project.
