NASA HEO Summer Faculty Fellowships
NASA’s Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate (HEO) is accepting applications for summer 2012 faculty fellowships. The purpose of these fellowship opportunities is to prepare faculty members to enable their students to complete senior design projects with potential contribution to NASA Exploration objectives. The faculty will work for a continuous period of six (6) to twelve (12) weeks at a NASA field center on a selected Exploration project and incorporate the Exploration project into an existing senior design course or capstone course at their university in the 2012/2013 academic year. During the designated weeks at a NASA field center, each faculty fellow will work side-by-side with a NASA technical expert. The faculty will gain extensive knowledge on the Exploration-related project including the associated requirements, interfaces and issues affecting the design and potential solution(s). The faculty will develop course materials for use at their university during the 2012/2013 academic year in support of the completion of senior design project(s) using a systems engineering approach. The Exploration project must be selected from the approved list and application.
Up to five (5) faculty fellows will be awarded through this solicitation.

HASP 2012 Call for Payloads Released
High Altitude Student Platform (HASP).
HASP can support up to 12 student payloads (providing power, telemetry
and commanding) during a flight to an altitude of 124,000 feet for up
to 20 hours. We anticipate flying HASP with the assistance of NASA
Balloon Program Office for at least the next three years (2012 through
2014). There is no cost for launch and flight operations. Student
teams will need to raise their own funds to support the development of
their payload and for travel to Palestine, TX for HASP integration and
Ft. Sumner, NM for flight operations.
Details about previous HASP flights and the student payloads flown can
be found on the “Flight Information” page of the HASP website
Details on the payload constraints and interface with HASP as well as online access to the CFP materials can be found on the “Participant Info” page of
the HASP website
Applications are due December 16, 2011 and selections will be
announced by mid-January 2012.

Summer 2012 USLI Advanced Rocketry Workshops Flyer
NASA’s Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD) is accepting applications for summer 2012 faculty fellowships. The purpose of these fellowship opportunities is to prepare faculty members to enable their students to complete senior design projects with potential contribution to NASA ESMD objectives. The faculty will work for a continuous period of six (6) to twelve (12) weeks at a NASA field center on a selected ESMD project and incorporate the ESMD project into an existing senior design course or capstone course at their university in the 2012/2013 academic year. During the designated weeks at a NASA field center, each faculty fellow will work side-by-side with a NASA technical expert. The faculty will gain extensive knowledge on the ESMD-related project including the associated requirements, interfaces and issues affecting the design and potential solution(s). The faculty will develop course materials for use at their university during the 2012/2013 academic year in support of the completion of senior design project(s) using a systems engineering approach. The ESMD project must be selected from the approved list.
Up to five (5) faculty fellows will be awarded through this solicitation.
