Kevin M. Crosby teaches in the Physics and Astronomy Department and Computer Science Department at Carthage, and has chaired both departments. He has taught broadly across the physics curriculum, including courses in planetary astronomy and global climate science. He is currently involved in a variety of undergraduate space science research initiatives, including microgravity studies of lunar regolith, and near space exploration using sounding rockets and high altitude balloons.

In 2008, 2009 and 2010, Professor Crosby and his students were selected by NASA to participate in NASA's Systems Engineering Educational Discovery Program. They traveled to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, where they conducted research aboard NASA's microgravity aircraft, the Weightless Wonder.
