Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNa) is an initiative created by NASA to attract and retain students in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines. [1] The program is managed by the Launch Services Program (LSP) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The Teacher in Space Project (TISP) was a NASA program announced by Ronald Reagan in 1984 designed to inspire students, honor teachers, and spur interest in mathematics, science, and space exploration.
In response to some of this data, NASA wants to investigate microgravity's effects on the growth of three-dimensional, human-like tissues, and the unusual protein crystals that can be formed in space. [9] The investigation of the physics of fluids in microgravity will allow researchers to model the behaviour of fluids better.
In addition to SpaceSet at JPL, local events based on the Space Settlement Design Competition format have been conducted for NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center (Antelope Valley and Victor Valley, California), NASA Johnson Space Center (Houston, Texas), and NASA White Sands Test Facility (Las Cruces, New Mexico).
NASA INSPIRE (Interdisciplinary National Science Project Incorporating Research and Education Experience) was a NASA educational program that operated between 2008 and 2013. It was a year-round project designed for students in ninth to 12th grade interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) topics and careers.
NASA started an annual competition in 2014 named "Cubes in Space". [264] It is jointly organized by NASA and the global education company I Doodle Learning, with the objective of teaching school students aged 11–18 to design and build scientific experiments to be launched into space on a NASA rocket or balloon. On June 21, 2017, the world's ...
NASA is considering adding a message to the New Horizons probe to communicate with alien life in the near future. NASA May Add Messages from Earth to Pluto Probe for Aliens.
After the 2024 layoffs, there are only approximately 5,500 full-time Caltech employees and contractors working on any given day. NASA also has a resident office at the facility staffed by federal managers who oversee JPL's activities and work for NASA. There are also some Caltech graduate students, college student interns and co-op students.
