Micro-g NExT Challenge

NASA is embarking on the 10^th annual Micro-g NExT Challenge, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this opportunity with you to be a part of the history making Artemis missions.

Micro-g NExT is an opportunity for undergraduate students to work directly with NASA engineers to design prototypes for real world (or out of this world) engineering design challenges.  

Selected prototypes are tested on site with the students at our Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory. This challenge gives students the opportunity to see the engineering design process through from beginning to end under the mentorship and guidance of real NASA engineers. The challenge begins August 22^nd 2024 with the announcement of the four challenges brought to us by our partners working on the lunar missions. The culminating event June 3-6th will see you on site testing your prototype with NASA divers at the Neutral Buoyancy Lab.  

To participate in Micro-g NExT teams must submit the letter of intent by September 19^th. Formal proposals are due October 10^th. Teams selected to build and test their prototypes will be announced November 14^th. Throughout the challenge, teams will participate in live virtual connections with NASA subject matter experts to learn more about the work they do and get advice on your team’s progress.  

The spirit of the Artemis missions drives us as NASA prepares to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon. If you are an undergraduate student driven by curiosity and have the will to innovate and be on the cutting edge of future exploration, this challenge is for you. 

For more challenge requirements or registration information check out the Micro-g NExT webpage at: https://go.nasa.gov/micrognext or contact the Micro-g NExT team at: jsc-reducedgravity@nasa.gov.
