Program Description
NASA’s Exploration Systems Mission Directorate
partnered with the National Space Grant Consortia
to initiate a new higher education student program
for which KSC was selected to provide the overall
Agency program management. The program consists
of two student opportunities: exploration-related
internships at NASA Centers or with space-related
industry, and senior design projects. All opportunities
are related to ESMD’s critical research areas
(Spacecraft, Propulsion, Lunar and Planetary
Surface Systems, or Ground Operations) for the
future of space exploration.
Program Goal
The goal of the ESMD Student Project is to train
and develop the highly skilled scientific, engineering,
and technical workforce of the future needed
to implement the Vision for Space Exploration.
This project provides opportunities to involve
a diverse group of students (graduate and undergraduate)
in substantive, hands-on, engineering experiences
to prepare them for future careers in space.
Systems engineering experience is a key aspect
of all projects.
Eligibility
• Must be U.S. Citizen to participate. Proof
of citizenship will be required if selected.
• Age 18 or older

students are eligible to apply

college, or community college.
How to Apply
All interested students must work with their
Space Grant Consortium to identify specific
opportunities. Internships with space-related
industry are strongly encouraged, and a limited
number of NASA Center Internships are available.
Senior Design projects are coordinated through
participating universities.
