On the phone with @NASA’s BIG idea Challenge, briefing the competing teams. I’m excited to serve as judge. Teams will be developing ways to explore and use local resources in the Moon’s polar regions. bigidea.nianet.org
2/3 “The 2020 BIG Idea Challenge provides undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to design, build, and test a low-cost sample payload targeted for delivery to the lunar surface...”
3/3 “The proposed payload should demonstrate technology systems needed for exploration and science in the Permanently Shadowed Regions (PSRs) in and near the lunar polar regions.“ AWESOME STUFF! Good luck to the teams!
