ALT Pictured is team CERBERUZ, a group of students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who won first place prizes in NASA’s LunaRecycle Challenge. Of the students’ 30-person team, 14 are shown in front of two backdrops showing the NASA “meatball” insignia and NASA’s Centennial Challenges. Team members are holding two large checks made out to the team in amounts of $500,000 and $275,000.

ALT Illustration of the HelioSwarm mission showing one central spacecraft surrounded by eight smaller satellites. The main spacecraft, with blue solar panels and long boom arms, sits at the center, while the smaller identical satellites are arranged around it in a loose formation. All spacecraft appear against a plain white background, with the HelioSwarm logo in the lower right corner.
