La NASA destina un millón de dólares al reto estudiantil Base Lunar

On November 8, 2026, NASA announced the launch of the Student Lunar Base Challenge, providing a $1 million prize during a ceremony at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. The competition, organized by NASA's Office of STEM Engagement in collaboration with the Base Lunar program, invites United States high school and college students to design solutions for the future Lunar Base.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman emphasized that curiosity, creativity, and the ability to tackle complex problems are essential qualities for building the future of human presence on the Moon. The challenge comprises six categories: energy generation and storage, construction, life support systems, surface mobility, communications networks, and crew safety.

The goal is to foster new technological concepts and technical skills necessary for future lunar missions, particularly those leading to eventual crewed missions to Mars.
