Findings from the James Webb Space (JWST) and Event Horizon telescopes have wowed the public at the same time that dozens of commercial players have made serious investments in space development. Life beyond Earth is becoming more approachable and research advances are bringing galaxies far, far away closer than ever.
UTSA has played a significant part in those breakthroughs. From black holes and stardust to lunar colonies and smart habitats, scientists and engineers at UTSA are gaining momentum in international efforts to answer questions we’ve been wondering about our galaxy and the broader universe for generations. Meanwhile, students across the university are gaining the hands-on science and engineering experience they need to pursue much-needed careers in the fields of space and aeronautics research.
Many of these Roadrunners briefly took their heads out of the stars to share their brilliant stories with Sombrilla Magazine.
