Teams at US high schools and post-secondary schools can propose designs for a lunar base. Registration through NASA STEM Gateway closes on 25 January 2027.
Sole source: NASA has opened its Moon Base Student Challenge, inviting teams at US high schools and post-secondary schools to propose designs for a base in a competition offering $1 million. The agency announced the challenge at a MAX POWER event at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida.
NASA says it is building a Moon Base where astronauts will live, work and explore in the lunar South Pole region. The competition asks students for proposed designs and technology concepts for that project.
NASA says the challenge covers power generation and storage, construction, life-support systems, surface mobility, communications networks and astronaut safety. NASA says the work addresses environmental and mission-design requirements for life and operations on the lunar surface.
NASA says participants must register through NASA STEM Gateway by 25 January 2027. NASA directs teams to the challenge website for eligibility requirements and official rules.
