What kind of inflatable technologies, structures, and systems would you propose for long term exploration of the Moon?
Our 2024 BIG Idea Challenge has chosen six student teams to advance concepts that could support @NASAArtemis missions. Meet the teams: go.nasa.gov/3T5fuU4

How would you design components of a metal production pipeline on the Moon?
We asked U.S. college teams to compete their ideas in our 2023 BIG Idea Challenge – from lunar mineral extraction to creating structures & tools. This year's "metal" awardees 🤘: go.nasa.gov/3ypr2HX

Behind the astronaut, there is a cart on wheels for transporting products. In the background, there are metal pipes forming the early stages of a structure and a metal laser cutting machine. We see the dark of space and the lunar surface in the background.
