To Mars and Beyond!
Interplanetary missions are part of the curriculum at UNLV. From scientists to students, new findings and research are coming out of UNLV to support NASA's Perseverance Rover Mission. Engineering doctoral student Alexandra Washington is one of only 17 student scientists nationwide selected by NASA to contribute to this galactic operation; on campus, research teams are assessing landing locations and developing food sources for future space explorers, proving that the sky’s not the limit – it’s only the beginning.
