NASA Grant Energizes Student-Developed Mars Project

NASA Grant Energizes Student-Developed Mars Project

The Mars Gravity Biosatellite Program announced that they have received a $200,000 NASA advanced projects development grant. The funding will support development of a full payload engineering model, as well as make possible a number of tasks that push the project nearer to a real-time liftoff.
The Mars Gravity Biosatellite Program is the first ever mission to study the effects of Martian gravity on mammals, a fundamental step moving humans out beyond low Earth orbit to the red planet.
