Joseph Pelfrey, ’00 aerospace engineering and director of NASA’s Marshall Spaceflight Center, recently presented Mario Eden, dean of engineering, with a certificate of appreciation for the college’s support of NASA.
To get to the Red Planet, it's going to take a little Orange and Blue.
Congrats to @AuburnU alumnus Joseph Pelfrey, '00 aerospace engineering, on being named director of @NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.

Level up ⬆️
@NASA has achieved a new benchmark in developing an innovative propulsion system! Engineers at #NASAMarshall successfully tested a 3D-printed Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine for 251 seconds, producing over 5,800 pounds of thrust.

A rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE) is an advanced rocket engine design that could revolutionize space travel...and one of our @NASAInterns designed, built, and tested it.
Read about #NASAMarshall intern Dalton Luedke's incredible accomplishment >> https://t.co/egdF0lZor7
#NASAMarshall leads Space Nuclear Propulsion, working closely with other @NASA centers, DARPA, the Department of Energy, industry, and universities. Learn more about our partnership enabling us to test a nuclear-powered rocket in space as soon as 2027 >> https://t.co/5C0EJC4mxZ
Been a blessing playing for @AuburnMBB these last 4 years! Looking forward to what is to come! Check out my highlight tape below.

The application period for @NASA’s Pathways Internship Program opens today, Feb. 6! Our internships provide opportunities for students to engage with real-world experiences while contributing to the operation of a NASA facility and the advancement of NASA’s missions.
"The vehicle...she was ready to fly, and we were ready to let her!" 🚀
Launch day from inside the firing room at @NASAKennedy is a unique experience. Check out this clip where #Artemis I launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson gave us her POV from launch day.
🧟 🧠 We love brains!!!
The Space Launch System rocket’s flight software and avionics systems act as the brains that guide and steer the rocket beyond Earth’s orbit. Watch to learn more about the SLS rocket’s flight software and avionics systems here: https://t.co/3jro6ywOBz
Finding water on the moon with lasers! 🛰️
NASA's Lunar Flashlight will be the first mission to use a four-laser reflectometer to look for water ice on the Moon.

.@icyywen recently called mechanical engineering senior Chandler Leopard "the best shooter I’ve ever played with in my life."
You should see him in the classroom...
A new ep. of the best podcast in higher education awaits... @AuburnMBB

“The Space Launch System is a culmination of our knowledge of 60 years of building rockets.”
Hear from Marshall SLS program leaders about how this Moon rocket will propel the Orion spacecraft to the Moon and beyond on #Artemis missions. 🚀
While our missions are fascinating, it's the people we work with that make the job fun. Are you a student? Consider joining the @NASA family with @NASAInterns. The fall application deadline is July 11, and we need students of all backgrounds. Apply at https://t.co/UgqawS1yUC.
2022 @StudentLaunch competition photos are in! 📸
Sixty teams from 22 states including Puerto Rico took part in this year's competition, with 27 teams launching April 23 near Marshall in Huntsville, Alabama.
