Increased interest in the use of cislunar space and the lunar surface has raised questions about future cislunar security.

Johns Hopkins APL Shapes a Vision for Promoting Security in Cislunar Space

Cislunar space has recently attracted significant interest from military, civil space and industry organizations who see it as a key location for asset placement, scientific exploration and resource mining and manufacturing. APL has released a Cislunar Security National Technical Vision with recommendations for policy and technology development to enable safety and stability in the cislunar region.

Scientists at APL have leveraged artificial intelligence and machine learning to produce accurate estimates for road transportation emissions of the top 500 emitting cities worldwide.

Using AI, Satellite Images to Track Greenhouse Emissions

APL scientists have leveraged the global coverage of satellite imagery and the strengths of machine learning to create the first automated approach for estimating greenhouse gas emissions from the road transportation sector.

Two Johns Hopkins University divisions – APL and the School of Medicine in Baltimore – are working at the forefront of neural interface technologies for functional restoration, rehabilitation and augmentation for people affected by spinal cord injury, upper limb less or blindness.

New Advances in Neural Interfaces Research at Johns Hopkins

APL and the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine have reported research progress on multiple neural interface technologies for functional restoration, rehabilitation and augmentation for people affected by spinal cord injury, upper limb loss and blindness.
