BOZEMAN An exceptionally strong and durable concrete developed at Montana State University is slated to be used for the first time, paving the way for potential widespread future application in Montana.
Developed over the past five years in collaboration with Montana Department of Transportation, the ultra-high performance concrete will form parts of two replacement bridges scheduled for installation this summer on Highway 43 near the southwest Montana town of Wisdom.

MSU Project Headed To The Moon In 2023
A lunar lander called Blue Ghost will touch down on the Earth s Moon in 2023, carrying with it a Montana State University experiment on how outer space radiation affects computers. Marshall Swearingen of MSU News reported that RadPC has already been tested in Earth orbit and on the International Space Station. NASA had earlier accepted the project as part of a payload headed toward the lunar surface, but a schedule this past week gives the Bozeman, Montana, project team some definite deadlines to put together the finishing touches.
Brock LaMeres, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering professor, said, We were doing prototyping and testing, and then overnight this announcement changed everything. It s exciting because all of a sudden we re scheduling meetings with upper-level NASA people to lay out the schedule for everything that has to happen before launch.
NASA Launches Satellite Designed and Built by MSU Students

The Ionospheric-Thermospheric Scanning Photometer for Ion-Neutral Studies (IT-SPINS) mission proposes to provide the first two-dimensional (2D) tomographic imaging from a 3U research CubeSat, addressing the basic nature of the nocturnal ionosphere. This 6-month mission aims to strengthen our fundamental understanding for development of ion gradient structures in the topside of the Earth’s ionosphere and secondarily within regional phenomena such as equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) or polar patches.
