ASU Now - Interplanetary Initiative Lab
TEMPE - February 27, 2020 - ASU Now - Interplanetary Initiative Lab - Ali Bahremand, a second-year doctoral student in computer engineering, sets up an augmented reality headset at the opening of the Interplanetary Initiative Lab, in the repurposed locker room of the Sun Devil Hall, Thursday, February 27, 2020. He and fellow doctoral student Lauren Gold designed the software for both the augmented headset and a virtual reality headset that gave tours of Mars. The Lab, a facility devoted to interdisciplinary research and development, contains roughly 6,800 square feet of in-house, design-build-fly space, making it one of the more diverse lab environments at ASU. It includes a prototyping space area, electronics lab, shop, vacuum testing area, ground station and clean room. These features will benefit students and faculty as well as external partners looking to collaborate on the interdisciplinary projects of the Interplanetary Initiative. Offering rapid building and testing capabilities, the Lab will facilitate accelerated progress on multiple projects at once while providing on-site staff engineers to manage the space and mentor teams. The Lab offers potential for outside funding and corporate partnerships. Photo by Charlie Leight/ASU Now
