We are a student team, called the Micro-Nauts, working on NASA's Micro-Gravity NExT Challenge!
The challenge provides the opportunity to college students across the country to develop a solution to a challenge proposed by NASA, given guidelines and requirements. Chosen teams travel to Johnson Space Center, Houston, to have astronauts train with and test the finalized student project at the 1:1 scale International Space Station in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory! Out of thousands of teams nationwide, only 16 are chosen to continue.
Our team has been selected by NASA to continue with the development and manufacturing of our product!
Team Micro-Nauts, consists of a diverse, passionate group of 7 Aerospace Engineering students from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Florida. In pursuing this project, we are aspiring to make a difference in helping NASA and professionally developing our careers.
We are developing a Passive Capture Tool Dock as part of the challenge to securely attach an astronaut's Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA) tool to their toolbelt with a single-handed motion. It is our responsibility to design, manufacture, and test our project, including the funding for all steps of the project.
Any amount donated is graciously appreciated, and we cannot wait to complete this project with your help!
