Instrumentation: On Ground, in Air and in Space
The Space and Atmospheric Instrumentation Lab (SAIL) is dedicated to building scientific instruments and technologies that enhance our understanding of Earth’s atmosphere and near-earth space weather. Keeping with Embry-Riddle’s primary goal of education, SAIL is all about giving hands-on learning experience to students. In the last six years, more than 30 undergraduate students and 11 graduate students from Embry-Riddle’s Engineering Physics program have worked on SAIL-affiliated projects. The projects have included designing sounding rocket instruments, CubeSat instruments, high-altitude balloon payloads, plasma chamber experiments, space situational awareness efforts and much more.
SAIL is part of the Center for Space and Atmospheric Research at Embry-Riddle. Students with a strong hands-on aptitude and interest in working in SAIL are encouraged to contact Dr. Aroh Barjatya with their CV and their interests.
