SIP is open to students <strong>16 or older<\/strong> who are pursuing a career in space communications and navigation, or have an interest in these areas. SIP is sponsored by the SCaN Policy and Strategic Communications (PSC) Office at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. SIP interns are selected and placed in projects for fall, spring, and summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The internship allows students to perform hands-on training with real mission scenarios, analyze powerful space communication systems, utilize network software tools, and effectively communicate their findings in a final presentation to NASA management. Each student is paired with an experienced, multi-disciplinary mentor who counsels the student with his\/her work, and also engages with career planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are introduced to space communications and navigation knowledge and practices through their participation in the program. Each year, as the students\u2019 knowledge matures, their corresponding NASA activities and training increase in complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n<strong>Why is SIP Important to NASA? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Students offer fresh perspectives and innovative ideas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students work on projects that can change the face of NASA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n\tStudents are integrated with career professionals emphasizing mentor-directed, degree-related tasks while contributing to the operation of a NASA facility or the advancement of NASA\u2019s missions. \n\t<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NASA actively promotes STEM careers, and SIP is in line with NASA\u2019s message and vision.<br>\n\t <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-none \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cb446f775e000b62db65a5b2745fc3ad_0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cb446f775e000b62db65a5b2745fc3ad_0.jpg?w=2048\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Photo of a group of SIP interns\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cb446f775e000b62db65a5b2745fc3ad_0.jpg 3719w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cb446f775e000b62db65a5b2745fc3ad_0.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cb446f775e000b62db65a5b2745fc3ad_0.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cb446f775e000b62db65a5b2745fc3ad_0.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cb446f775e000b62db65a5b2745fc3ad_0.jpg?resize=1536,1025 1536w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cb446f775e000b62db65a5b2745fc3ad_0.jpg?resize=2048,1366 2048w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cb446f775e000b62db65a5b2745fc3ad_0.jpg?resize=400,267 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cb446f775e000b62db65a5b2745fc3ad_0.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cb446f775e000b62db65a5b2745fc3ad_0.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cb446f775e000b62db65a5b2745fc3ad_0.jpg?resize=1200,801 1200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cb446f775e000b62db65a5b2745fc3ad_0.jpg?resize=2000,1334 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">Interns at Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops, VA.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Educational Paths Include:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Aerospace Engineering <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Applied Physics <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Astronautical Engineering <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Computer Science\/Engineering <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electrical Engineering <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finance <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Graphic Design <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Information Technology <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mathematics <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Software Engineering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Space Policy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strategic Communications <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Systems Engineering <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2026and more!<br>\n\t <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Eligibility Requirements:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>U.S. citizenship<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GPA: 3.0 on a 4.0 scale<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At least 16 years at the time of application<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High school students: Students must have completed their freshman year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Undergraduate or graduate students: Enrolled full-time in a degree-granting program at an accredited college or university.
