Do you and your students want to see what it might be like to grow plants on the Moon or Mars? This is your chance! The NASA Rhode Island Space Grant Consortium is pleased to announce that funding applications are now being accepted for the Plant the Moon Challenge...

“We want to get students outside the classroom beyond the textbooks and internet articles they read about,” said Ralph Milliken, Program Director and DEEPS Associate Professor. “So they can understand the interplay on human society and the natural environment.”

The NASA RI Space Grant is accepting applications to fund curriculum development and professional development projects at K-12, undergraduate, and graduate levels throughout Rhode Island. All projects related to the development of NASA-relevant curricula, STEM-aligned...

SBUDNIC, built by an academically diverse team of students using off-the-shelf parts, was confirmed to have successfully operated in orbit, demonstrating a practical, low-cost method to cut down on space debris. The project is a result of a collaboration between researchers at Brown’s School of Engineering and the National Research Council of Italy. It is also supported by D-Orbit, AMSAT-Italy, La Sapienza-University of Rome and the NASA Rhode Island Space Grant.

As NASA prepares for the return to Earth’s Moon, it is calling all undergraduate students who would like to gain a hands-on, authentic engineering design experience while also directly contributing to upcoming missions! Micro-gravity Neutral Buoyancy Experiment Design...

The 2023 BIG Idea Challenge provides undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to design, develop, and demonstrate technologies that will enable the production of lunar infrastructure
from ISRU-derived metals found on the Moon.

Brown University students, with a low-cost satellite, are blasting off on a budget. It’s called SBUDNIC, not to be confused with Sputnik, the Soviet satellite that launched in the 1950s. This one is much smaller, about the size of a loaf of bread. On either end, cameras equipped with fisheye lenses will snap grainy photos of Earth and beam them back to the ground every 10 minutes, and temperature data will be recorded.
