Nelson: Micro-g NExT 2018 Team

Program Type: Higher Education

Micro-g NExT 2018 Team: This proposal supports student participation in the Micro-g Neutral Buoyancy Experiment Design Teams (Micro-g NExT) program, in which students design, build, and test a tool which can be used to solve a current problem relevant to NASA. It includes activities at the NASA Johnson Space Center Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) and is administered by the JSC Microgravity University Office (NASA Education). In the project for which the UNL team was selected, students address a need related to maintenance operations on spacecraft. This is in direct alignment with the science, technology, and educational missions and priorities espoused by NASA.
