At Cosmic Missteps, students turned space-flown samples into unique sculptures treating failure not as the end, but the start! Led by Jud Ready & artist Dylan Cawthorne, & organized by Prof. Joyce Sim, it was part of a new art-science initiative rethinking discovery. @GTLibrary

What happens when space research doesn’t go as planned? Sometimes, it becomes something new. On Jan. 15, Jud Ready shares a real story of solar cells in orbit that failed—and artist Dylan Cawthrone helps turn it into a kinetic sculpture. Register: bit.ly/3Lq1vrX

Satellites power everyday life, but keeping them in orbit and useful takes more than engineering. @GaTech_Space researchers study space as a shared system—from propulsion and space policy to science fiction as a tool for imagining technological futures. b.gatech.edu/3YypDeT

Mars wasn’t always the frozen world we see today. Georgia Tech’s Dr. Frances Rivera-Hernandez & team ran 70+ Mars-chamber experiments showing how it's atmosphere changed the way mud, water & sediment flowed, offering new clues to the planet’s past climate. bit.ly/48wNGPW

A tiny piece of space junk just forced China to delay a crewed mission & Georgia Tech Assistant Professor Lincoln Hines says the fallout could reshape global space politics. Read more: bit.ly/4pkklPJ

595 Million Miles from Midtown 🛰️ Since 1961, 14 Georgia Tech alumni have flown 40 missions & nearly 600 million miles. Among them: John Young, first Tech grad to walk on the Moon, & Shane Kimbrough, who threw the first college baseball pitch from space. bit.ly/4paApU1

What does it take to live like an astronaut—on Earth? Georgia Tech students are launching one of the first student-run analog missions in the U.S.! Southeast Analog (SEA) will test how people and technology adapt to extreme environments. Their pilot mission launches in Aug 2026.

A great turnout under clear skies, a glimpse of Saturn, & even a few unexpected stars on the ground! Among them, SRI Executive Director, Jud Ready, with Georgia Tech alumnus & former NFL player Isaiah Johnson. Thanks to all who joined us for the Homecoming Star Watching Party!

Today, 3I/ATLAS — the third known interstellar object — reaches its closest point to the Sun. At @GaTech_Space, researchers like Koki Ho & James Wray, who contributed to a recent study on 3I/ATLAS, are working to understand how interstellar objects move, form, & fade from view!

Look up, Atlanta! 🚀 The International Space Station will be visible from Atlanta over the next few mornings — this time carrying 18 Georgia Tech solar cells on the first flight of Japan’s HTV-X. First Viewing: Oct 30, 07:27 AM More info on the pass: bit.ly/48LKbHj
