ASU in space

ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration has built up a renowned space
exploration capability based on the pioneering work of faculty members 
Carleton Moore and Ron Greeley. Today, ASU registers in the top 2% for 
NASA-funded research expenditures and is one of the nation’s top 
universities for space exploration. From missions — to the moon, to Mars, to
the outer planets of Saturn and Jupiter — to paradigm-shifting discoveries 
in faraway galaxies via the James Webb Space Telescope, ASU projects are laying 
groundwork for discoveries that will inspire careers, influence economies 
and expand human knowledge.
