Laboratories

Space Telecom Astronomy Radiation Lab (STAR Lab)

STAR Lab achieves new scientific results from sensors on distributed space-based platforms, focusing on telecommunications (radio and optical), astronomy, and radiation/remote sensing research.

Space Propulsion Laboratory (SPL)

SPL provides the infrastructure to support the Space Propulsion graduate field in the MIT AeroAstro department. A significant fraction of SPL’s research is focused on the development and modeling of scalable space thrusters.

Engineering Systems Laboratory (ESL)

ESL studies the underlying principles and methods for designing complex socio-technical systems that involve a mix of architecture, technologies, organizations, policy issues, and complex networked operations.

Space Enabled

Advancing justice in Earth’s complex systems using designs enabled by space.

Astrodynamics, space Robotics, and Controls Laboratory (ARCLab)

ARCLab conducts research on Astrodynamics, Space Situational Awareness and Space Traffic Management, Satellite Guidance and Navigation, Estimation and Controls, Reinforcement Learning, and Optimal Control.

Aerospace Materials and Structures Lab

The Aerospace Materials and Structures Lab is pushing the boundaries of additive manufacturing for spaceflight through the development of new net-shaping processes and materials.
