Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP)

The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) is a research facility at the University of Colorado focused on studying Earth's atmosphere, space, and planetary systems. They design, build, and operate scientific instruments and spacecraft to explore phenomena like climate change, the Sun, and other planets. LASP’s work helps us understand how space weather affects Earth, supports satellite technology, and advances space exploration. It combines scientific research with engineering expertise to better grasp our planet's environment and our place in the universe.
