Last week, Artemis II launched. On Friday, the crew comes home, and our work stays with them the entire way. Draper supports the mission with guidance, navigation, and control software that runs from launch through lunar flight to return, and our engineers hold a primary seat in the Mission Evaluation Room to track the mission in real time. We’ve worked alongside this program for more than 20 years to help make a mission like this happen....Meer weergeven

Draper joined the ARPA-H funded SCALE team to help develop a building-integrated system that detects airborne hazards and reduces exposure in real time. We’re contributing microfluidic pathogen isolation expertise to support advanced biosensors, respiratory risk modeling, and automated air systems designed to improve indoor air quality in schools and other shared spaces. The team will demonstrate the system in school districts across the country....Meer weergeven

The Defense Microelectronics Activity named Draper as a newcomer awardee on the Advanced Technology Support Program 5 contract. The award places Draper among a small group of companies supporting the full lifecycle of microelectronics that power military systems. ATSP5 focuses on keeping defense technology current by tackling chip design, development, integration and testing. The work spans emerging areas such as nanoelectronics, advanced manufacturing and next generation computing, all aimed at reducing obsolescence and strengthening long term readiness. This award reflects growing trust in Draper’s microelectronics expertise and our ability to support complex national security missions over time. We look forward to contributing to the work ahead and partnering with DMEA to help keep critical systems current, capable, and resilient. ...Meer weergeven

From lasers to lunar landers, Julia Laurenzano MacDonough's career proves that the right opportunity can change everything. AS VP and GM for our Air Force and Missile Defense Strategic Systems, Julia leads programs that protect the nation and advance space exploration. She recently spoke with SheTech interns in Utah about her path, starting with an ROTC scholarship that led to a degree in physics, then moving into early work as a laser physicist in the Air Force, and now guiding teams that tackle some of today’s toughest technical challenges. Her advice for the next generation: stay curious, take calculated risks, and surround yourself with people who push you to grow. ...Meer weergeven

The sky can trick you. Draper makes sure it doesn’t. Spatial disorientation contributes up to 10% of aviation accidents, and 90% of those crashes are fatal. Pilots can lose track of which way is up, especially in poor visibility or during high-G maneuvers, and the results can be catastrophic. Draper engineers partnered with NASA and the University of Colorado Boulder to develop tools that detect the onset of disorientation and help pilots recognize when their senses are giving them the wrong signals. With pilot feedback and real-world test data, we’re building models that bring science into the cockpit and protect lives. ...Meer weergeven
