Hosted by NASA, students design, build, and test a device that addresses a current space exploration problem. The experience includes hands-on engineering design, test, manufacturing, and prototyping. Testing is conducted in the simulated microgravity environment at NASA Johnson Space Center Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL). 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.
