Current PhasePre-Phase A: Concept Studies
In pre-phase A we are conducting historical research into previous competition prompts, requirements, designs, and deployment in preparation for prompt release around August. Next PhasePhase B: Preliminary Design...
In phase B we will focused on developing a preliminary design review that proves technology completion and meets science requirements. Phase B is completed when we submit our proposal to the competition judges in late October. |
Micro-g Neutral Buoyancy Experiment Design Teams (Micro-g NExT) challenges undergraduate students to design, build, and test a tool or device that addresses an authentic, current space exploration challenge. The overall experience includes hands-on engineering design, test operations, and public outreach. Test operations are conducted in the simulated microgravity environment of the NASA Johnson Space Center Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL). Teams will propose design and prototyping of a tool or simulant identified by NASA engineers as necessary in space exploration missions. Professional NBL divers will test the tools and students will direct the divers from the Test Conductor Room of the NBL facility. Micro-g NExT provides a unique opportunity to contribute to NASA's missions.
