NASA Announces Challenges for the 2013 International Space Apps Challenge<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

WASHINGTON — NASA and over 150 partner organizations worldwide will be hosting the International Space Apps Challenge on April 20-21, 2013. The International Space Apps Challenge is a technology development event during which citizens from around the world work together to solve challenges relevant to improving life on Earth and in space.<\/p>\n

NASA and its partners have released 50 challenges for the second International Space Apps Challenge. Participants are encouraged to develop software, hardware, data visualization, and mobile\/web applications that will contribute to space exploration missions and help improve life on Earth. Examples of challenges include:<\/p>\n

— Spot the Station: Extend the functionality of the Spot the Station website (spotthestation.nasa.gov<\/a>) that allows you to share your sightings of the International Space Station with others.<\/p>\n

— Hitch a Ride to Mars: Design a CubeSat (a small research satellite) for an upcoming Mars mission.<\/p>\n

— 3-D Printing Challenge: Create an open source model of space hardware that can be generated by a 3-D printer.<\/p>\n

— Curiosity at Home: Foster a connection between citizens and the Mars rover through software, visualizations, or an app.<\/p>\n

— Seven Minutes of Science: Develop a concept to make use of 330 pounds (150 kilograms) of ejectable mass during the entry and landing phase of a Mars mission to accomplish scientific or technical objectives.<\/p>\n

— Catch a Meteor: Create an app that would allow observers of a meteor shower to trace the location, color and size of the meteor.<\/p>\n

— Smart Cities, Smart Climate: Explore the impacts of atmospheric changes on the health, infrastructure and society in urban areas.<\/p>\n

— Why We Explore Space: Share the “why” of space exploration through the creation of compelling narratives and visualizations.<\/p>\n
