Soffen Memorial Fund is pleased to announce the last 2008 Travel Grant application opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students pursuing studies in fields of space science and engineering. The Travel Grants, in the amount of $500, enable student recipients to attend professional meetings to present their research. The last 2008 Travel Grant application deadline is October 1, 2008. Jerry Soffen, a biologist by training, led a distinguished career in NASA, including serving as the Project Scientist for Viking and as an architect for the NASA Astrobiology Institute. The Travel Grant continues Jerry’s dedication to educating and involving future generations in space science and engineering pursuits. The electronic application materials and instructions are located on the Soffen Fund website: http://nasa-academy.org/soffen/travelgrant/ Questions regarding the application or application process may be sent to: travelgrant@nasa-academy.org Additional information other opportunities at: http://aeronautics.nasa.gov .

The American Student Moon Orbiter, or ASMO, concept invites students, faculty and industry leaders in the U.S. with experience in university-based, student-led spaceflight projects to respond to a Request for Information which is planned for release this month and will remain open for at least 90 days. The orbiter will be a small satellite that could orbit the moon and carry scientific instruments designed and developed by students. It is aligned with NASA's lunar exploration agenda. "It is important to provide meaningful experiences to our next generation of engineers, but we need to do it in a thoughtful way," said Dr. Joyce Winterton, assistant administrator for Education at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "By collecting input from universities with experience in this area, we can make the correct decision about whether to proceed, and if so, how." Under the ASMO concept, teams would learn directly from NASA mentors as part of a diverse, nationwide, higher education initiative that enables students to design, build, launch, operate and own a small spacecraft and its payload. Students would acquire in-depth experience with satellite mission protocol and procedures, communications and project management. NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field in California and NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland are leading the ASMO initiative. "NASA is laying the foundation for a multi-generation exploration program that eventually will see humans settle our solar system," said Ames Center Director S. Pete Worden. "To sustain this vision, we need the next crop of scientists and engineers to engage their minds and get hands-on experience." NASA's Office of Education provides opportunities to prepare college and university students for successful aerospace careers through real-world applications of their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics skills.
