In 2025, the Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research (CCAR) will proudly celebrate its 40th anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, the Center will host a special anniversary event on Friday, October 24th, 2025, bringing together alumni, current students, faculty, and friends of CCAR to honor four decades of innovation, education, and impact in the field of aerospace and look to the future.

The event will highlight the achievements of CCAR alumni, showcasing their diverse career paths and contributions to the aerospace industry. The program will include the annual George Born Lecture delivered by Shyam Bhaskaran of JPL, as well as panel discussions featuring alumni.

This celebration aims to recognize the Center’s lasting influence on the field of astrodynamics and to honor the legacy of its graduates. It will also serve as a unique opportunity for alumni to reconnect with one another, engage with current students and faculty, and strengthen their ties with the CCAR and the Smead Aerospace Engineering Department.
