UIUC’s Aerospace MS immerses engineers in hypersonic aerothermodynamics, autonomous UAV swarms, and cislunar mission design. Students access the Mach 4 blow-down tunnel, run LES turbulence on Blue Waters 2, and build CubeSat avionics in the Illinois Space Systems Lab. Thesis and non-thesis options let learners pursue research with NASA grants or pivot quickly to SpaceX, Boeing, and emerging eVTOL innovators.
