The awards will focus on plans for engaging with students and educators in the communities that NASA will eventually select for overflights. This will help ensure communities are accurately informed about this phase of Quesst and what involvement in the mission will look like for their community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Quesst mission is unique at NASA, with community input playing a major part in its success,\u201d said Eric Miller, deputy mission integration manager for Quesst. \u201cThese new awards will allow NASA to learn from other STEM professionals, informing us as we develop a framework to effectively engage with students and educators.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The selected institutions and their projects, are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Carthage College, Kenosha, Wisconsin<\/strong> \u2013 STEM Quesst, Wisconsin Space Grant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cornell University, Ithaca, New York<\/strong> \u2013Quesst Community Overflight STEM Engagement New York Space Grant Consortium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia<\/strong> \u2013 Engaging the National NASA Space Grant Network in Support of the Quesst Community Overflight STEM Engagement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>University of Puerto Rico, San Juan, San Juan, Puerto Rico <\/strong>\u2013 Space Grant Quesst Community Overflight STEM Engagement: Sounds of Our World<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>University of California, San Diego, San Diego, California \u2013<\/strong><em> <\/em>California Space Grant Planning Support for the Quesst Community Overflight STEM Engagement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The deliverables from the awards will help inform a student engagement approach that can be implemented in any community, state, and region that may be selected. NASA has yet to select communities for the overflights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission\/quesst\/\">Quesst<\/a>, NASA is developing its X-59 experimental aircraft, which will fly faster than the speed of sound while producing only a quiet sonic \u201cthump.\u201d After the X-59 completes a series of flight tests, NASA will fly it over a number of communities across the country, gathering data about what people below hear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about Quesst, visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a
