UT alum Jeremy Myers began working at NASA in machine design, maintainability, and reliability right after graduating. He is now a lead engineer helping develop cameras that can be used to take photos on the moon.

The Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO) serves as NASA’s living quarters for astronauts and will lay the foundation for deep space voyages to Mars and beyond.

TCE alumnus Christopher Busic is a guidance and control engineer at Intuitive Machines, one of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) providers, which carry cargo for NASA and other private customers to the Moon.

Assistant Professor Zhenbo Wang recently received an NSF Faculty Early Career Development Program award that will provide $537,847 for research toward developing and testing a novel airway system, operational rules, and control schemes for autonomous aircraft of the future.

In September 2014, NASA astronaut and MABE alumnus Barry Wilmore launched to the International Space Station (ISS) from the Baikonur […]

For a university to land even one graduate in a given year at NASA is a nice accomplishment. For one department to have three graduates head to the nation’s space agency doesn’t just speak volumes, it yells them. This summer, the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering will see three of its own—

TULLAHOMA – Tennessee native and University of Tennessee graduate, NASA Astronaut Barry “Butch” Wilmore spent more than five months aboard […]

For this week’s Middle Tennessee Monday, News 2 visited one of Tullahoma’s best kept secrets.

The University of Tennessee Space Institute is where dozens of astronauts learned the knowledge that helped get them to NASA.

Scott Kelly and Barry Willmore are just a few of Middle Tennessee’s own.

When Barry Wilmore returned to Earth on March 11, it took the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, out of space for the first time in six months. That absence won’t last long, though. Scott Kelly—who, like Wilmore, is a graduate of UT’s Space Institute—will begin a one-year mission in space later this week, giving UT an impressive span of being represented almost 18 consecutive months in space.

Before UT alumnus and NASA astronaut Barry Wilmore turned over the command of the International Space Station in preparation for his return to Earth, he issued a good-bye message that included some love for UT.

In an e-mail to the College of Engineering, Wilmore thanked everyone for supporting him during his time in space.
