NASA Seeks Student Tech Ideas for Suborbital Launch

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

NASA is calling on all sixth through 12th-grade educators and #students to submit experiments for possible suborbital flights as a way of gaining firsthand experience with the design and testing process used by #NASA researchers.

The NASA TechRise Student Challenge invites #students to design, build, and launch experiments on suborbital rockets and high-altitude balloons. The challenge aims to inspire a deeper understanding of Earth's atmosphere, space exploration, coding, electronics, and the value of test data.

"Central to NASA's mission is inspiring and educating the workforce of the future. The research areas students can explore through TechRise are endless, from technology to better understand our planet to innovative systems for deep space exploration, said #NASA Administrator #billnelson. "We hope to see entries from #students across the country, showcasing the diverse talent and ideas of the next generation."

Guided by an educator, student teams affiliated with U.S. public, private, and charter schools can develop and submit creative experiment ideas. The entry period is open until Nov. 3, 2021.

Each winning team will receive $1,500 to build their experiment and an assigned spot to test it on a NASA-sponsored suborbital flight operated by Blue Origin, UP Aerospace, or Raven Aerostar. 

Flying experiments on suborbital rockets and high-altitude balloons takes technologies from ground-based laboratories into relevant testing environments. The flights replicate microgravity, solar exposure, radiation, extreme temperatures, vacuum, and intense vibrations. Understanding how payloads respond to these conditions allows researchers to validate their designs and adjust or make improvements as needed.
