Liam Intemann, Astrophysics at LASP, Week 6
To say that I am already done with this internship is unbelievable. This final week was by far the most eventful to me, from being a part of the assembly of SPRITE to finishing my CubeSat Wavelength Calibration project. I’m happy to say that I had an amazing experience and learned much from this internship. […]
Liam Intemann, Astrophysics at LASP, Week 5
As I approach the end of my internship, I have had a very eventful week. Week 5 was a hectic week consisting of more of my project, meetings and lessons involving astrophysics and current updates on SPRITE, testing the deployment for the satellite antenna, the first major assembly of the CubeSat, and outside of the […]
Liam Intemann, Astrophysics at LASP, Week 4
This week at LASP, I was finally introduced to my project. This project is working with images of star formations, images that are used to study various characteristics of stars, such as their formation and ionization. This meant I had to process these images using a script I wrote in Python to determine its wavelengths. […]
Liam Intemann, Astrophysics at LASP, Week 3
After an eventful three-week break back home working, I have returned to resume my astrophysics internship with LASP at CU Boulder. Starting off, the first thing my mentor said was, “Let’s go light things on fire.” He and some other undergraduate students were working on an antenna for SPRITE (A CubeSat set to observe star […]
Liam Intemann, Astrophysics at LASP, Week 2
This week at LASP was highly informative. Mainly consisting of meetings, I learned much more about what LASP does, its projects, and Astrophysics in general. Along with meetings, there was a practice speech for the upcoming Japan trip that went over a project named INFUSE, which focused on using UV light to observe previously undetectable […]
