If we are going to live and work on the Moon, build the Moon Base, and eventually journey to Mars, we have to master the technologies that make sustained operations possible. There is impressive work happening at the University of North Dakota on habitats, spacesuits, human performance, mobility, and autonomous systems that directly connects to those challenges. Today, @SenJohnHoeven, General Guetlein, and I saw that work firsthand, touring UND’s lunar and Mars analog habitat and spacesuit lab while meeting with the students and researchers working through the real challenges of how humans will live, move, and operate on other worlds. We also joined the UAS Summit to talk about how advances in autonomy and aviation are opening up new challenges and possibilities across both air and space. North Dakota is helping build the capabilities America will need for the missions ahead. Thank you to Senator Hoeven, General Guetlein, and everyone at @UofNorthDakota for the warm welcome and outstanding work.

It's full speed ahead for the 70 teams that have been selected to compete in NASA's 2027 Human Exploration Rover Challenge (HERC)! These college, high school, and middle school teams will spend the next nine months designing and building a human-powered or remote-controlled rover that will compete in April at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, near NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. Check out the full list of teams here: go.nasa.gov/4AXHPAM

The Inspiration Tour continues in Alaska. Great to visit @uafairbanks with @RepNickBegich and meet the students, researchers, and faculty contributing to America’s leadership in space. From sounding rockets at Poker Flat and studying the aurora to satellite communications and Alaska Space Grant student research, some incredible work is happening here at the edge of the Arctic. These students are gaining the experience NASA will need as we return to the Moon, build a lasting presence, and prepare for Mars. Alaska plays an important role in the missions of today and the future.

I love visiting students who are growing up in a world where America is returning to the Moon, building a Moon Base, preparing to get underway under nuclear power, and launching missions to unlock the secrets of the universe. The students at the University of Arizona are already playing a part, just as this institution has since the earliest days of America’s space program. From incredibly badass missions like OSIRIS-REx, to NIRCam on Webb and HiRISE at Mars, to their work on LEMS that NASA astronauts will deploy on the lunar surface, and now Pandora studying exoplanet atmospheres, this university has its fingerprints all over the great frontier. Just so exciting to be around and witness.

It’s back to school season, but at NASA, students are learning year-round! Johnson Space Center hosts two Student Challenges: Micro-g NExT, and NASA SUITS. Through Micro-g NExT, undergraduate students design, build, and test a tool or device that addresses an authentic, current space exploration challenge. NASA SUITS challenges undergraduate or graduate students to design and create spacesuit information displays within augmented reality environments. Learn more about student challenges: nasa.gov/learning-resources/…
