The PRIMA space probe has been selected for funding and further study by NASA. Dr. Elisabeth Mills, an assistant professor of astronomy at KU, is on the probe's research and development team.

In October, NASA announced that a space probe project proposed by a University of Kansas astronomer had advanced to the final round of consideration for a billion-dollar mission planned for the 2030s. Dr. Elisabeth Mills is an assistant professor of astronomy at KU, and she talked with KPR's Laura Lorson about the project, and her area of expertise.
