RASC-AL NASA

Congratulations to the @NorthwesternUni team for winning top honors in our 2024 BIG Idea Challenge for their METALS concept – an inflatable system for long term cryogenic fluid storage on the Moon – which showed potential for future @NASAArtemis missions: go.nasa.gov/4f3cqk1

THE CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR NASA'S 2025 RASC-AL COMPETITION IS NOW OPEN to full-time or part-time undergraduate and graduate students at an accredited U.S.-based community college, college, or university! Read the NASA Feature Story for the 2025 Themes! bit.ly/3SEiW8N

What kind of inflatable technologies, structures, and systems would you propose for long term exploration of the Moon? Our 2024 BIG Idea Challenge has chosen six student teams to advance concepts that could support @NASAArtemis missions. Meet the teams: go.nasa.gov/3T5fuU4
