NASA’s 2025 HuLC competition asks undergraduate and graduate student teams to develop innovative, systems-level solutions to understand, mitigate potential problems, and mature advanced cryogenic fluid technologies that can be implemented within 3-5 years. Notice of Intent Submission Deadline: October 16, 2024.
Carroll University will host the 32nd annual Wisconsin Space Conference on Friday, Aug. 12, 2022, in the Campus Center. The theme of this year’s conference is “Drones in Space.”
The conference kicks off at 7:30 a.m. Friday with a breakfast buffet. Special guest speakers include Matthew Wallace, Deputy Director for Planetary Science, and Tim Canham, Software and Operations Lead for Mars Helicopter, at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. Throughout the day, attendees will hear about NASA partnerships, student research, K-12 outreach, academic and industry research, and WSGC team projects. There will be a poster and networking session, and an awards ceremony.
