NASA L' SPACE Program

CONGRATULATIONS to our first ever LEAP Intern of the Semester, Faith Larimore!

As a NASA L'SPACE LEAP Intern, Faith serves as a Program Analyst Mentor for the NASA L'SPACE Mission Concept Academy (MCA). In this capacity, she provides guidance to MCA students, ensuring their successful completion of the academy while focusing on critical aspects of mission formulation, such as budgeting and scheduling.

During her first semester as a LEAP Intern, Faith demonstrated exceptional dedication to both her students and fellow mentors, consistently going above and beyond in her role. For this, we are happy to bestow upon her this award and look forward to working with her again during the Spring 2025 semester!

Congratulations to L'Fam member, Aliya Hutley!

Aliya is a Mechanical Engineering major at Florida State University. She completed the NASA L'SPACE Mission Concept Academy (MCA) this past summer while tackling real-world engineering challenges at NASA Kennedy Space Center. She begins her journey as a NASA Pathways Intern: Engineering Student Trainee at NASA Langley Research Center this spring.

Way to go, Aliya! We are so proud of you!

Calling all early career professionals!

Are you working at a NASA center, employed as a NASA contractor, a recent graduate, or an early career professional working in ? Are you interested in gaining valuable industry skills through a hands-on virtual environment?

If this is you, we'd like to invite you to apply to the NASA Proposal Writing & Evaluation Experience (NPWEE)! In NPWEE, you'll gain experience in interdisciplinary teaming and communication as you work together with a diverse team to explore the NASA proposal writing process. Along the way, you'll learn how to craft a high-quality, professional proposal from real industry professionals and have the opportunity to earn a Siemens NX CAD certification. In the final weeks of the academy, you will take part in a NASA proposal review board - an experience that typically does not occur until much later in one's career!

OH, YEAH, there's just one more thing: Your team will be competing for a $10,000 team prize awarded by NASA!

Are you ready to level up? Join the NASA L'SPACE Program today! Applications and additional information can be found at www.LSPACE.asu.edu.

Participation in the NASA Proposal Writing & Evaluation Experience is FREE. Early career professionals must have less than 5 years of experience working in their fields. Applications for the Spring 2025 semester of NPWEE close January 10th at 11:59 PM PT.
