Under DARPA's new Tellus program, Draper is set to design microbe-based sensors to perform environmental monitoring. These sensors can detect chemical and physical signals, leading to an accumulation of important data to keep the DOD better informed to make decisions. https://lnkd.in/e-BxDFfa #Biotechnology #Syntheticbiology #DARPA Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)

Thanks to our amazing team members (pictured) who represented us at the Disability:IN Conference this week in Las Vegas. We are also elated to announce we were ranked one of the top 2024 Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion. This would not be possible without the IDEA team here at Draper striving to make us an inclusive workplace. https://lnkd.in/e4WXBPFY

July 20th is the Apollo 11 anniversary! The first mission to land humans on the Moon. Draper engineers were responsible for the Display (DSKY), Apollo Guidance Computer which was the primary interface between Apollo astronauts and the computers on both the Command and Lunar Modules. It was used for all the Apollo missions. It's now on display at the Draper Museum! Open to the public every Friday at 555 Tech Sq in Cambridge, Mass.

Our engineers developed a celestial navigation system called the Stellar Celestial Alternative Navigation System (SCANS). We have worked closely with the Air Force Research Laboratory to integrate SCANS into the AFRL’s PNT systems. This adds to our portfolio of navigation capabilities.

As we celebrate Disability Pride Month, we want to recognize Victoria, our new co-lead of Draper's Ability employee resource group. She is a Machine Intelligence Engineer. We asked her what drew her to Draper. Her answer: "I was fascinated by the breadth of work that Draper supports. I also enjoyed the idea of supporting something bigger than shareholders. I came from the tech sector and wanted to work for an organization that supports those who protect the nation and those who live in it."

FROM THE ARCHIVES. 18 years ago, Draper engineers started working on an implantable drug delivery device along with the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. It was created to treat sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The device would be used to deliver precise quantities of one or more drugs in a timed sequence to the inner ear in order to regrow sensory cells. The program lasted for 10 years and was one of the longest bio projects in our history, and ended successfully with almost a dozen publications and great technology that was leveraged in many of our other business areas. The technology still remains relevant for hearing loss but is not in current use.
