Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics

The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) is a research facility at the University of Colorado Boulder that focuses on studying the Earth’s atmosphere and outer space. Scientists at LASP develop satellite technology to gather data about weather, climate change, and the solar system. They conduct experiments and design instruments that can be sent into space to understand phenomena like solar activity and the effects of space weather on Earth. LASP plays a crucial role in advancing our knowledge of atmospheric processes and the universe, contributing to scientific progress and informing public policy on environmental issues.
