Dear Colleagues,
I would appreciate if you could bring this to the attention of your students about an opportunity for them to attend an upcoming week-long mission design competition and workshop at Caltech.
<http://www.kiss.caltech.edu/workshops/space-challenge2011/details.html>
Caltech Space Challenge, which is student run and funded by the Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS), will be challenging students to design a mission to send astronauts to a NEO and return with samples. Selected students will be divided into two teams. Each team will have a JPL mentor and throughout the week lectures will be given by experts from JPL, NASA, and industry. This event is scheduled for the week of September 12th.
The event is open to students in graduate or undergraduate programs. This is a multi-disciplinary event and students from all backgrounds are invited
to apply.
There is no fee to participate in the program. All living expenses will be paid and up to $600 for travel funding is available for the students selected to participate in the program. A flyer describing the program is attached.
For more details on the event and to apply (deadline, 8th July), refer to,
