Are you a college student that loves a challenge? Do you enjoy working with a team to accomplish a goal? Do you have an interest in NASA, engineering, design, or thinking outside the box? If you said yes to any of these. . .
NASA SUITS has an opportunity for you!
NASA’s Spacesuit User Interface Technologies for Students (SUITS) provides an authentic engineering design experience that supports NASA’s Artemis mission - landing American astronauts safely on the Moon by 2024! This activity challenges students to design and create spacesuit information displays within augmented reality (AR) environments. After development, student teams travel to the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas to test their software designs with unique NASA assets.
Proposals are due no later than midnight PT on Friday, October 25, 2019.
Here’s the 2020 Challenge
Assemble a team, develop a user interface, which enables astronauts to finish a task more efficiently by providing a set of instructions via the display environment (audibly, visually, etc.).
The task requires dexterity, physical activity, and navigation between various points within the test environment.
Want more information?
Join NASA SUITS Coordinator and technical experts by attending the virtual information session on September 23rd, from 6:00-6:30pm Central Time:
