Higher Education

The Center for Lunar Science and Exploration, in collaboration with numerous Texas higher education institutions, has initiated the Higher Education Lunar Consortium. Science faculty and Center researchers are working together to infuse lunar science and exploration content into undergraduate and graduate courses. The consortium provides students access to the latest exploration results and opportunities for research and careers in cutting-edge lunar science.

Lunar Exploration Summer Intern Program

We will also host at the LPI an intern program that will give students an opportunity to be involved in exploration activities.  Initially, teams of  interns will be organized to determine which locations on the Moon will be the best landing sites to meet science requirements. Additional details of the program are posted at the Lunar Exploration Summer Intern Program website.
