| Have you seen the new holographic fan on the first floor of Rudolph Hall? It's located in an alcove across from the Grossman Mineral Museum.
Thanks to a generous donation from Jerrold and Marsha Grossman, EEPS has acquired this advanced technology. They hope it will showcase students engaged in research.
We need your help with video creation!

WashU Satellite is a unique, undergraduate-led organization established at the beginning of 2024. Unlike many other design teams on campus, they don’t compete in traditional competitions, instead, they contribute to real research in space and physics. The team collaborates with professors from both the physics (Jim Buckley) and engineering departments.

They are seeking passionate students, including graduates, to join their team! This semester, their primary focus is AIRIS, a fast-slewing robotic optical follow-on telescope system designed to fly as a piggyback on the WashU Physics Department's ADAPT mission. Additionally, they are gearing up for the design phase of SCALAR, their first orbital satellite project. SCALAR aims to build hands-on experience in satellite design, construction, and mission management. It will also demonstrate secure, autonomous, and reconfigurable operations, drawing inspiration from the ESA OPS-SAT mission.
