Professor Bai received a new grant, titled "Machine Learning-Enabled Data Assimilation for Understanding and Forecasting the Variation of Thermospheric Neutral Density," funded by NASA’s Space Weather Science Applications Research-to-Operations-to-Research program. The goal is to provide a game-changing 3-day forecast of thermospheric density with unprecedented accuracy and quantifiable uncertainty, surpassing current methods. This project builds upon Professor Bai’s ongoing NSF-supported research, with a focus on transitioning to operational use.

The Rutgers Rocket Propulsion Lab successfully launched and recovered their high-power rocket last December named Excalibur II on top of an Aerotech L1500 motor to 10,500ft achieving speeds past Mach 1. This launch served as a full scale sustainer test flight for their upcoming Spaceport 2024 competition, in which Rutgers Rocket Propulsion lab plans to fly a two-stage rocket to heights past 30,000 ft in the deserts of New Mexico.
