Before merging, both black holes were spinning exceptionally fast, and their masses fell into a range that should be very rare — or impossible.

Georgia Tech engineers have the solar system covered, with projects hundreds — or millions — of miles from home.

SRI will become the center of all things space-related at the Institute. It will work in partnership with academics, business partners, philanthropists, students, and governments.

Georgia Tech researchers Amirali Aghazadeh and Daniel Saeedi discuss AstroAgents, an agentic AI system that analyzes space chemistry to generate new ideas for life’s beginnings.

By uniting experts across disciplines, Georgia Tech is positioning itself at the forefront of neuroscience and space research.

Effective July 1, Ready will serve as the inaugural executive director of Georgia Tech’s new Space Research Institute, which will officially launch on the same date.

When scientists spot an asteroid whose trajectory might take it close to Earth, they monitor it frequently and calculate the probability that it might collide with our planet.

As the White House accelerates plans for a 2026 crewed mission to Mars, Georgia Tech experts highlight the engineering, scientific, and diplomatic challenges that will shape the success—and sustainability—of humanity’s next giant leap.

Georgia Tech researchers will soon send 18 photovoltaic cells to the International Space Station for a study of how space conditions affect the devices’ operation over time.

A bold space mission led by Georgia Tech and NASA aims to capture the most detailed images of black holes yet by launching twin telescopes into orbit.

Georgia Tech scientists have uncovered evidence that a mountain on the rim of Jezero Crater — where NASA’s Perseverance Rover is currently collecting samples for possible return to Earth — is likely a volcano.

Ready had hoped earning his bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in materials science and engineering at Georgia Tech would lead him to a spot in NASA’s Astronaut Corps. Instead, it’s led him to GTRI, where his passion for space is alive and well.
