COMBINING TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND ANALYSIS TO SOLVE NATIONAL CHALLENGES


THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY
APPLIED PHYSICS LABORATORY

We solve complex research, engineering, and analytical problems that present
critical challenges to our nation. APL—the nation’s largest university
affiliated research center—provides U.S. government agencies with deep expertise
in specialized fields to support national priorities and technology development
programs. We also serve as independent trusted technical agents to the
government, providing continuity for highly complex, multigenerational
technology development systems.


OUR PURPOSE

Our purpose is to make critical contributions to critical challenges. At APL, we
feel it is our responsibility to try to solve these national challenges with the
full measure of our dedication and expertise.


OUR VALUES

The Lab’s core values are unquestionable integrity, trusted service to the
nation, world-class expertise, and game-changing impact—all in an environment
that is collaborative, fulfilling (and even fun!).


OUR GOAL

APL’s purpose and core values guide our future, and it is no less than to create
defining innovations that ensure our nation’s preeminence in the 21st century.

REVIVING A LEGACY TECHNOLOGY FOR SPACECRAFT EXPLORATION

A legacy material called silicon-germanium is making a comeback in NASA’s
next-generation nuclear power source for spacecraft, thanks in part to recent
work by an APL-led team. Its resurgence will enable NASA missions to travel
farther and longer than current capabilities allow.

JOHNS HOPKINS APL USHERS IN NEW ERA OF INNOVATION, COLLABORATION AND RESEARCH
CAPABILITIES

APL formally opened Building 201 and its state-of-the-art research facilities on
Oct. 19, with a ceremony featuring Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and other
government and university leaders.

DART ARRIVES AT VANDENBERG SPACE FORCE BASE, ITS FINAL STOP BEFORE LAUNCH

Just two days after leaving Johns Hopkins APL in a specialized container, NASA’s
Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft arrived at Vandenberg Space
Force Base in California, where it is scheduled to launch in late November.

JOHNS HOPKINS APL DEVISES CLEAN, COST-EFFECTIVE METHOD TO ELIMINATE PFAS
‘FOREVER CHEMICALS’ IN WATER

Scientists at APL have devised a unique way to destroy these ubiquitous and
toxic environmental chemicals for good. The method is inexpensive, does not
generate undesirable byproducts and is practical and scalable for a variety of
governmental, civilian and commercial applications.

NEW MOON-BASED STUDY AGAIN SHOWS SPACECRAFT COULD ANSWER NEUTRON LIFETIME
MYSTERY

Just a year after a team from Johns Hopkins APL and Durham University showed for
the first time that spacecraft could help end a decades-long stalemate on how
long a neutron can last outside an atom’s nucleus, the team has done it again.
In a new study using lunar data, the team made a tenfold improvement on their
last estimate, drawing closer to answering a question that will improve our
understanding of the early universe.

DART GETS ITS CUBESAT COMPANION, ITS LAST MAJOR PIECE

Shortly after it arrived at Johns Hopkins APL, the Italian Space Agency’s
first-ever deep-space miniaturized satellite, called LICIACube, was installed on
DART. The CubeSat will snap images of DART as it performs its final maneuver: a
deliberate crash into an asteroid.

WITH BASESTACK, JOHNS HOPKINS APL ENABLES CRUCIAL GENOMICS WORK AROUND THE WORLD

Genomics work has historically been the province of small, highly specialized
laboratories with access to top-of-the-line hardware, infrastructure support and
technical expertise. Now, a software platform developed largely by APL is making
advanced genomics tools accessible and user-friendly for scientists and public
health workers around the world.

JOHNS HOPKINS APL’S AUGMENTED REALITY TOOLBOX HELPS ARMY IMPROVE SITUATIONAL
AWARENESS

APL has been working with the U.S. Army to develop an experimental prototype for
the Multi-Domain Task Force for situational awareness, targeting and
intelligence preparation of the operational environment at the security level of
the unit.

CLIMATE INITIATIVE

APL scientists have made significant progress toward creating the first
worldwide, near-real-time inventory of road transportation emissions,
contributing a major piece to a larger effort to monitor greenhouse gas
emissions on a global scale, known as Climate TRACE.
