The Earth-to-Orbit and Beyond Engineering Design Challenges connectstudents with the work of NASA engineers by engaging them in relateddesign challenges of their own. With some simple and inexpensive materials, you can lead an exciting unit that focuses on a specific problem that NASAengineers must...
The Centennial Challenges Program is managed at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama for the agency’s Space Technology Mission Directorate in Washington.
Think you have what it takes to solve some of the toughtest engineering problems on the Internet? Then take a GrabCAD Challenge and join other engineers, designers, manufacturers, and students in professional open-engineering challenges.
Participants must design robots capable of handling the challenges posed by regolith, or lunar soil simulants, while constructing berm structures. The robots must function under strict weight and size constraints and be operable remotely or autonomously. As part of NASA's Artemis Student Cha...
Unexpected Benefits and Ongoing Challenges Besides confirming that the January perihelion worked out according to predictions, engineers found surprises while testing spacecraft components. A couple of instruments came out better than expected after exposure to higher temperatures. ...
“I was expecting to do data processing,” she said. “Now I look back and I think: Wow. They really had an intern developing design concepts. What an amazing opportunity.” As a NASA intern, Allysa Tuano worked on conceptual designs for a helicopter that will one day collect data on ...
We outline the materials-design pathway from implementation strategy through selection of materials and fabrication methods to evaluation. Finally, we discuss unmet needs and current challenges in the development of ideal materials for bone-tissue regeneration and highlight emerging strategies in the field...
Cheryl Gramling knew early on what she wanted to do in life. Today, she is assistant chief for technology, mission engineering and systems analysis division, at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, and she’s playing a key role in getting us back to the Moon. ...
High-End Computing (HEC) has had significant impact on aerospace design and engineering and is poised to make even more in the future. In this paper we describe four aerospace design and engineering challenges: Digital Flight, Launch Simulation, Liquid Rocket Engine Fuel System and Digital Astronau...
