Feb. 18, 2020 was a historic day for space exploration, marking the successful landing of the NASA Perseverance rover on Mars after a 292.5 million-mile journey. Swati Mohan ‘04 narrated the landing from mission control at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in southern California. Mohan, who graduated from Cornell’s Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, was the mission’s guidance, navigation and controls operations lead, essentially the eyes and ears of the spacecraft on its seven-month, 300 million-mile cruise to Earth’s neighboring planet.

A review paper on the techniques used for high-velocity micro-projectile impact testing, co-authored by the Sibley School's Mostafa Hassani, has been selected as a featured article by Applied Physics Reviews. Read more
The Standard Hydrogen Corporation (SHC) and National Grid announced plans to build the first hydrogen “energy station” of its kind in the nation, prompted by eco-friendly research from Cornell faculty including Elizabeth Fisher, associate professor in the Sibley School. Read more
This article was updated 10/28/21 to include the launch of the crowdfunding campaign. A team of Cornell students has won a grant through NASA’s University Student Research Challenge for a proposed sensor that can help 3D printers build better, more reliable products. To complete the challenge, the team is now crowdfunding a cost-share required by NASA. The challenge seeks new aeronautics concepts that are relevant to NASA Aeronautics Mission Research Directorate. Selected student teams are awarded with up to $80,000 for advancing project ideas such as advancing the design, developing... Read more
Atieh Moridi, assistant prof in the Sibley School, was awarded the 2021 Schwartz Research Fund for her project that incorporates recent developments in 3D printing to develop metal biodegradable surgical implants, which if successful, can overcome limitations of current biodegradable implants that degrade too fast or too slowly inside the body.
