APL scientists and engineers bid farewell last week to the Europa Imaging System Narrow-Angle Camera, the last of the Laboratory’s contributions to NASA’s Europa Clipper mission. The groundbreaking instrument arrived in Southern California on April 3 for tests and spacecraft integration.

From seeing the invisible to catching particles at near light speed, the parts APL scientists and engineers built for Europe’s Jupiter mission set to launch this Thursday are pretty sweet. Dive into the juicy details and see how these instruments will squeeze out new insights on Jupiter and its icy moons.

The team leading NASA’s Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE) mission successfully cleared its Critical Design Review late last month, marking a major milestone for the project and keeping it on pace for its launch scheduled for next year.

Johns Hopkins APL has been selected to lead a test campaign to collect critical radiation effects data for a wide range of materials to support future Department of Defense programs.

Accomplished amateur radio operator Dan Wilt plays a critical role as a Howard County volunteer. At a ceremony this week he was honored by Howard County Executive Calvin Ball.

Researchers from Johns Hopkins APL and the Johns Hopkins Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences are developing a modeling tool to predict climate “tipping points,” critical thresholds that, when crossed, can lead to large and often irreversible changes in the climate system.

Johns Hopkins APL has licensed two powerful machine-learning tools to BullFrog AI, Inc., enabling the company to leverage the software to create life-saving therapies and treatments available to patients quicker.

As a child, Charles Madison watched the “whites only” signs come down across his Louisiana parish as Black students began attending schools that were traditionally white. Today, the Asymmetric Operations Sector’s managing executive leads teams working to secure the nation — and Madison actively pays forward the support he received along his journey.

Before it can fly its revolutionary rotorcraft over the organic dunes of Saturn’s moon Titan, NASA’s Dragonfly team needs to navigate several independent reviews to demonstrate the flight project is on track. Led by Johns Hopkins APL, the team recently passed the first of those evaluations, the Preliminary Design Review.

For a career of leadership and technical contributions to the nation’s missile defense programs, Joseph Mulé has earned the Missile Defense Agency’s Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense Pathfinder Award. He is the sixth Johns Hopkins APL staff member to receive the prestigious honor.
