LASP is currently flying 4 satellites, AIM, SORCE, QuikSCAT, and ICESat. To date, LASP has operated 8 spacecraft. This is more than any other university laboratory. Below is a timeline of LASP Spacecraft Operations:

Current Missions:

• AIM: Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (launched: April 25, 2007)
• SORCE: Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (launched: January 25, 2003)
• ICEsat (launched: January 12, 2003)
• QuikSCAT (launched: June 19, 1999)

Future Mission:

• KEPLER (launch: 2008)
  

Past Missions:

• SME: Solar Mesosphere Explorer (mission life: Oct. 6, 1981 - April 4, 1989)
• STRV 1A/1B (mission life: Oct. 1996 - Dec. 1998)
• SNOE: Student Nitric Oxide Explorer (mission life: Feb. 26, 1998 - Dec. 13, 2003)

LASP currently controls 11 instruments on 5 different satellites. To date, LASP has operated over 15 instruments on 9 different spacecraft, and LASP is slated to begin operations of two more instruments in 2008.
