Applications are now being accepted for the 2018 Exploration Science Summer Intern Program. This 10-week program will run from May 28 through August 3, 2018 and is open to graduate students in geology, planetary science, planetary astronomy, and related topics. Students will be involved in activities that support missions to the Moon that utilize the Orion crew vehicle, the Deep Space Gateway, and robotic assets on the lunar surface. It is a unique opportunity to integrate scientific input with exploration activities in a way that mission architects and spacecraft engineers can use. Activities may involve assessments of landing sites and traverse plans for multiple destinations that are responsive to NASA objectives. Details and the application form can be found online. The application deadline is January 19, 2018. READ MORE »
