The Pathfinder for Autonomous Navigation (PAN) project, led by Mason Peck, the Stephen J. Fujikawa ’77 Professor of Astronautical Engineering in the College of Engineering, is preparing to launch a pair of small, low-cost, modular satellites, known as CubeSats, into space.
The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled to launch in December 2021. Regarded as the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, it will peer deep into space and take images of distant astronomical objects.
