Greetings!

We cordially invite the Clarkson University community to watch NASA’s Revolutionary Aerospace Systems Concepts – Academic Linkage (RASC-AL) Competition Forum next week, June 10 – 12, 2024, where a team from Clarkson University with Khalifa University and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology will present their work. This team is among 14 collegiate finalist teams selected in a highly competitive review process led by judges from NASA and industry experts. We request that you share this invitation with students and faculty.

All team presentations during the Forum will be livestreamed and available to the general public at this link: https://vimeo.com/showcase/rascal-forum, with an archived version available for viewing following the event.

About the RASC-AL Forum

RASC-AL is one of NASA’s longest running higher education competitions and has become an integral part of NASA’s human space exploration development. Ideas from participating teams have informed concept development, advancements, and incremental adjustments that integrate into mission development.

During June 10-12, 2024, RASC-AL Competition Finalist Teams will present their research in one of four themes focusing on aspects of the following planned space exploration technologies: Long Duration Mars Simulation at the Moon, Sustained Lunar Evolution, AI-Powered Self-Replicating Probes – an Evolutionary Approach, and Large-Scale Lunar Crater Prospector.

Please, don’t hesitate to reach out to our Program Team at rascal@nianet.org with any questions! We appreciate you celebrating your university team’s success!
