Tour of Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP)-University of Colorado Boulder
In April 1948, a U.S. Air Force research lab contracted with CU Boulder’s physics department to study the Sun by launching instruments mounted on surplus World War II rockets. To meet this challenge, the university assembled a team of scientists and engineers, founding what would become CU’s oldest and highest-budget research institute: the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics.
LASP has since become the only academic research institute in the world to have sent scientific instruments to every planet in our solar system, plus the Sun and a host of moons. As the institute looks ahead to the next 75 years, its proud tradition of innovation keeps it at the cutting edge of space science.
This is a great tour for your entire family. LASP is 75 years old this year and has been a major player in Americas study of space.
The tour is limited to 30 people and there will be no refreshments during this event.
