NASA Award Boosts Space Technology Research Capabilities

A new funding opportunity aims to accelerate academic research and technology development. The Minority University Research and Education Project Space Technology Artemis Research (M-STAR) application window opened Thursday and will remain open through 11:59 p.m.

EDT on Tuesday, Aug. 11. The research funded through this award supports the agency’s priorities for exploring the Moon, Mars, and deep space, while strengthening eligible institutions in the future of space exploration. Institutions are encouraged to grow scientific and engineering capabilities, increase faculty and student engagement in aerospace research, and expand competitiveness for future federal and commercial awards.

Administered by the Office of STEM Engagement, the initiative contributes to the Space Technology Mission Directorate and to the agency’s broader mission to develop technologies that improve space transportation, human exploration, robotic discovery, and the growing space economy.
