A new opportunity for a spring internship at NASA Kennedy Space Center has been announced for undergraduate and graduate students. Students will work with a NASA Educator and learn how to teach STEM hands on activities to K-12 students, teachers and pre-service teachers.

On Monday, August 21, 2017, all of North America will be treated to an eclipse of the sun. Anyone within the path of totality can see one of nature’s most awe-inspiring sights – a total solar eclipse. This path,

The 2018 RASC-AL competition is seeking concepts that leverage innovations to improve our ability to travel between Earth and other destinations, using the framework for NASA’s Deep Space Transport (DST). Successful proposals will demonstrate comprehensive engineering analysis of innovative capabilities and/or new technologies for evolutionary architecture development to enable future missions,

NASA is seeking proposals for small satellite payloads called CubeSats to fly on rockets planned to launch or be deployed from the International Space Station between 2018 and 2021. The CSLI provides CubeSat developers with a low-cost pathway to conduct research in space that advances NASA’s strategic goals in the areas of science,

The 2018 BIG Idea Challenge calls for teams of 3-5 students to submit robust proposals for innovations in the design, installation, and sustainable operation of a large solar power system on Mars.  This call for proposals is interested in novel concepts that emphasize innovative mechanical design,

The annual American Society for Gravitational and Space Research Ken Souza Spaceflight Competition is open for proposals.

Due date for proposals is 1 September 2017.

About the Competition: The Ken Souza Memorial Student Spaceflight Research Program honors the memory of ASGSR’s long-time friend and leader by encouraging the next generation of student investigators to develop their own ideas for the future of gravitational research.  

The National Space Grant Foundation is pleased to announce the 2017 John Mather Nobel Scholar recipients.  The recipients will be honored at an awards ceremony July 21st in Greenbelt, Maryland.  The program is open to current NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center based undergraduate and graduate student interns.

Do you have an idea that could advance the state of current CubeSat technologies and payloads and demonstrate applications that may benefit any of the USSOCOM missions? Propose new or innovative CubeSat payload technology/use concepts that can be demonstrated to support USSOCOM missions within 12-24 months.
