- Aeronautics – Part 1
- Chris and Dr. Brian Argrow (CUB) discuss a personal perspective of aeronautics, the emergence of automation and drones, and how these technologies are expanding the capabilities of Earth-observation systems. [CUB = University of Colorado Boulder]
- Aeronautics – Part 2
- Chris and Dr. Gijs de Boer (CUB/NOAA) discover how aeronautics is expanding the capabilities of Earth-observation systems in space and on the ground using drones to better understand and explain our planet’s environment. [CUB = University of Colorado Boulder], [NOAA = National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]
- Near Space
- Chris and Dr. Tom Woods (LASP) discuss an overview of suborbital balloon, plane, and rocket technology to study the region between the reach of aeronautics vehicles and spacecraft. [LASP = Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics]
- Launch Vehicles
- Chris and Mr. Dave Murrow (Lockheed Martin) cover the basics of launch vehicles from the types to the components to how they work and get spacecraft into space.
- Orbits
- Chris and Dr. Steve Nerem (CUB) discuss a basic overview of orbits, types and applications of orbits, Hohmann transfers, and gravity assists. [CUB = University of Colorado Boulder]
- Spacecraft Systems – Part 1
