It’s going to be a busy January for students looking for space experience this summer.
The Lunar and Planetary Institute is offering undergraduate students with 50 semester credit hours or more the chance to experience cutting-edge research in lunar and planetary science.
Student interns will get to work one-on-one with scientists from the LPI or NASA’s Johnson Space Center to conduct research on projects of current interest to the lunar and planetary science community. This 10-week program will allow students the opportunity to work with and learn from some of the best lunar and planetary scientists in the field.
The Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) is hosting a special lunar exploration summer intern program to evaluate possible landing sites for robotic and human exploration missions. The LPI invites applications from graduate students in geology, planetary science, and related programs. The program is also open to undergraduate students in geology, astronomy, chemistry, and physics with at least 50 semester hours of credit so that they, too, can participate in lunar exploration activities. The goal of this program is to integrate NASA’s lunar science priorities with the exploration components of the new Constellation program. This will be a unique team activity that should foster extensive discussions among students and senior science team members.
The 10-week program runs from June 1, 2009, through August 8, 2009. Selected interns will receive a $5000.00 stipend and a $1000.00 travel expense reimbursement for U.S. citizens or $1500.00 for foreign nationals.
And don’t forget the deadline on the next Monday, the 26th, for the NASA Academy!
