Discover entirely new comets by searching through spacecraft data. Comets are small icy Solar System bodies that heat up when passing close to the sun, displaying a visible atmosphere and sometimes a tail. Only a small fraction of the comets in our Solar System have been discovered. The Sungrazer Project is a NASA-funded program where you can discover previously unknown comets in SOHO and STEREO satellite data. Anyone can join this project, all you need is an internet connection and some free time.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    A two-day hackathon-style event that invites people from around the world to create and collaborate on projects relevant to space exploration. The International Space Apps Challenge is a “technology development marathon”, where software developers, engineers, designers and technologists from around the world can mashup data, code and design to create clever solutions, explorations and experiments. Attendees can submit their own hack ideas or work on existing ones. Some hack ideas from 2012<\/a> included redesigning the Voyager Golden Record, creating better access to NASA data, mapping Earth’s Aurora, building suborbital payloads, and developing methods and equipment for baking in space.<\/p>\n

    The International Space Apps Challenge will take place in several locations around the world (and maybe even in space!) on April 11-12, 2015.<\/p>\n

      An international competition for university-level students\/faculty to design, construct and operate a Mars rover. The competition challenges teams to create a Mars rover that can accomplish tasks in sample retrieval, “blind” terrain traversal, life support maintenance, and emergency repairs. Teams must design and build their own rover, but are allowed to use off-the-shelf components. A letter of intent to participate in the competition is typically due in March each year.<\/p>\n

      Rovers are limited to costing no more than 15,000 EUR in parts, equipment and paid services. The competition is usually held each September in\u00a0Podzamcze, Poland. The European Rover Challenge is is a modified version of the University Rover Challenge<\/a> and is\u00a0organized by the European Space Foundation and\u00a0Planet PR Agency, and partners with the Mars Society Polska.<\/p>\n

Everyone around the world is encouraged to create their own Yuri’s Night event!<\/p>\n

        “Let’s go!” These were the words spoken by Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin<\/a> as he embarked on the historic first manned space flight on 12 April 1961. Twenty years later on 12 April 1981, the US launched the first space shuttle flight. That’s something worth celebrating. Every year on April 12th Yuri’s Night is celebrated all around the world – in 2011 there were 567 events held in 75 countries worldwide. The range of events is as diverse as the people who hold them – even the residents of Antarctica and the International Space Station have been known to join in the fun!<\/p>\n

          The annual Great Moonbuggy Race<\/a> will be held April 17-18, 2015 in Huntsville, Alabama, at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. Participating students will design a vehicle that addresses a series of engineering problems that are similar to problems faced by the original Moonbuggy team.<\/p>\n

          Each Moonbuggy will be human powered and carry two students, one female and one male, over a half-mile simulated lunar terrain course including “craters”, rocks, “lava” ridges, inclines and “lunar” soil.<\/p>\n

          Moonbuggy entries are expected to be of “proof-of-concept” and engineering test model nature, rather than final production models. Each student team of six members is responsible for building their own buggy, and the course drivers, who are chosen from each team, must also be builders of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

            A Mars analog research program led by the Austrian Space Forum (OEWF), a volunteer space organization based in Austria. The PolAres program aims to develop strategies for human-robotic interactions in preparation for a future human-robotic Mars surface expedition. The Austrian Space Forum collaborates with international partners, space professionals, space enthusiasts and interdisciplinary volunteers to help accomplish the goals of the PolAres program. The PolAres program’s vision is to provide a profound impact on the efforts to prepare for the exploration of the Solar System, by both helping to enable a Human Mars Mission through stimulating public awareness and testing out concepts and technologies that might help making such a mission safer and more effective.<\/p>\n

            The PolAres program’s approach has been mapped out into four steps: “During four consecutive years, the interaction between analogue astronauts and an advanced robotic component will be investigated. The programme shall follow a staggered approach: First, a scouting phase shall identify possible Mars analogue sites in Europe and the neighbouring Arctic. In a second step, a stratospheric\/mesospheric balloon shall be constructed and launched both as a training project and as a precursor for the Rover phase (phase 3). In a synergetic approach, hardware components like sensors and navigation elements shall be tested before being implemented on the Rover, which shall form the core of phase 3. In a fourth step (phase 4) the man-machine interface between the rover and the analogue astronaut shall be tested, including interactivity requirements development and investigation.”<\/p>\n

              Help astronomers discover supermassive black holes.\u00a0In order to better understand how supermassive black holes form and evolve over time, astronomers need to observe many of them at different stages of their lifecycles.

              Black holes are found at the center of most, if not all, galaxies. These supermassive black holes drag in nearby material, growing to billions of times the mass of our Sun and occasionally producing spectacular jets of material traveling nearly as fast as the speed of light.\u00a0The jets of material spewed out by these supermassive black holes can’t be detected in visible light, but can be observed in the radio wavelengths.\u00a0There is a great deal of valuable information that can be obtained from the radio images of these jets. There’s also a need to understand the host galaxy, which can be critical to understanding how big and how luminous the black hole actually is.<\/p>\n

                NASA needs your help in developing algorithms and other resources that can better identify asteroids that have the potential to impact the Earth. Ground-based telescopes around the world are scanning the sky for asteroids, however, correctly identifying asteroids amidst other noise can be a challenge. There is so much data captured by modern telescopes, that scientists are unable to individually verify each potential asteroid detected. New ways of autonomously detecting asteroids are needed.\u00a0This challenge calls for the development of algorithms and other resources that can be used by present-day and future telescopes that minimizes false positives while increasing detection sensitivity. The Asteroid Data Hunter project is part of the NASA Asteroid Grand Challenge<\/a>, in partnership with Planetary Resources<\/a>.<\/p>\n
