Orbital space around Earth has become congested and competitive. The Space4 Center is developing solutions to ensure that the use of orbital space remains sustainable and safe.

NASA's DART spacecraft will slam into an asteroid this month, and scientists will study how the impact affects its orbit around a larger, companion asteroid discovered by UArizona researchers in 1996.

The partnership will provide university faculty, students and other partners with a forum to collaboratively address pressing challenges of human security, exploration, development and settlement of space.

UArizona posted its best finish ever in the annual Best for Vets: Colleges list from Military Times, ranking No. 8 overall and No. 1 in the West. A total of 311 colleges and universities qualified for this year's list.
