Rocket science: Students land opportunity to create inflatable lunar pad for NASA
Fulton Schools students are among those from ASU who will be competing in the next NASA-sponsored Breakthrough, Innovative and Game-changing Idea Challenge. Fulton Schools mechanical engineering student Grant Lesley is the leader of ASU’s project for the challenge. Electrical engineering graduate student Sarwan Shah, mechanical engineering graduate student Vaibhav Khanna and mechanical engineering students Grant Lesley and Connor Owens are among those involved. Opportunities for students who have excelled in the BIG Idea Challenge have included internship offers and job offers. For this year’s challenge, the ASU team has developed a model of an inflatable lunar landing pad at the university’s Luminosity Lab.
