NASA is inviting university and college students to participate in the Opportunities in Research, Business, Innovation, and Technology (ORBIT) challenge. This competition aims to empower students to create innovative solutions for Earth and space exploration. Participants can win up to $380,000 in prize funding by developing concepts that utilize NASA intellectual property or by creating their own ideas.
The challenge consists of two tracks: the ORBIT Earth track focuses on incorporating NASA-owned patents into real-world applications that address global issues, such as disaster response and healthcare. On the other hand, the ORBIT Space track requires teams to design new system concepts that align with NASA’s current and future missions. Finalists will present their work to expert judges, who will evaluate the proposals and select winners based on the teams’ presentations and responses to questions.
