LASP

LASP, or the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, is a research organization based at the University of Colorado. It studies Earth's atmosphere, space environment, and beyond through scientific research and satellite missions. LASP develops and operates space instruments and satellite instruments to gather data about space weather, climate, and planetary atmospheres. Their goal is to improve understanding of our planet and the universe, supporting scientific discovery and technological development. Essentially, LASP acts as a bridge between space science and our understanding of Earth's environment, helping us learn how the space around us affects life on Earth and beyond.
