ASU Now - Interplanetary Initiative Lab
DownloadTEMPE - February 27, 2020 - ASU Now - Interplanetary Initiative Lab - Marta Ortiz, with ASU's Capital Management Planning, tours Mars through virtual reality, with the guidance of doctoral student Lauren Gold, at the opening of the Interplanetary Initiative Lab, in the repurposed locker room of the Sun Devil Hall, Thursday, February 27, 2020. Gold co-wrote the software running the headset. The Lab, a facility devoted to interdisciplinary research and development, contains roughly 6,800 square feet of in-house, design-build-fly space, making it one of the more diverse lab environments at ASU. It includes a prototyping space area, electronics lab, shop, vacuum testing area, ground station and clean room. These features will benefit students and faculty as well as external partners looking to collaborate on the interdisciplinary projects of the Interplanetary Initiative. Offering rapid building and testing capabilities, the Lab will facilitate accelerated progress on multiple projects at once while providing on-site staff engineers to manage the space and mentor teams. The Lab offers potential for outside funding and corporate partnerships. Photo by Charlie Leight/ASU Now
