Landing in the Dark
NASA is no stranger to challenges and innovation. They put people on the Moon, sent rovers to Mars and they sent a satellite outside of our solar system. But they also challenge others to innovate. In 2005, NASA initiated the NASA Centennial Challenges to challenge the public. The program hopes to stimulate innovation in applied research, technology development, and prototype demonstration. Some past challenges include the 3-D Printed Habitat Challenge, the Cube Quest Challenge, and the Space Robotics Challenge. Winners of the competition even have the opportunity to work with NASA.
