After 50 years occupying the W.R. Woolrich Laboratories building (WRW) at the corner of 24th Street and Speedway, aerospace engineering and engineering mechanics in the Cockrell School of Engineering will move to a larger, newly renovated home on The University of Texas at Austin campus in late 2018. “I look forward to continuing to develop a world-class research program in space situational awareness and space traffic management in our new home,” said Moriba Jah, associate professor of aerospace engineering and engineering mechanics. “The facility will allow my group to establish a state-of-the-art visualization laboratory — the Space Object Situation Room — that will allow users to better understand the relationship between objects in space in a way that supports decision-making processes. It’s a very exciting time for our research program, our students and the department.” More here
