1. Get to know the missions In this game, you’ll lead a mission to explore some of the most interesting environments in our solar system including the Moon, Mars, and Jupiter's moon Europa. Before getting started, read on to learn about some of the current and future NASA missions exploring the same destinations you will soon encounter with your fleet of spacecraft. NASA’s Artemis program calls for sending the first woman and next man to the surface of the Moon by 2024. It also seeks to establish a permanent and sustainable presence on the Moon. The agency will use what we learn on the Moon to prepare for humanity's next giant leap – sending astronauts to Mars.On Mars, Perseverance, NASA's most advanced Mars rover to date, is taking the next steps in our exploration of the Red Planet. Only the fifth NASA rover to land on Mars, Perseverance is building on the work and scientific discoveries of its predecessors by searching for evidence of ancient microbial life on the Red Planet.In the near future, NASA plans to take its search for life even farther into the solar system to Jupiter's ocean moon Europa. This small moon contains more water beneath its icy shell than all of Earth's oceans combined. NASA's Europa Clipper mission, currently in development, is designed to orbit Europa, make up-close observations, and investigate whether the icy moon has conditions suitable for life.About the image: From left to right: An artistic depiction of the Artemis program's Gateway space station; a selfie taken by the Perseverance rover on Mars; and an artistic depiction of the Europa Clipper spacecraft orbiting Jupiter's moon Europa.

From Struggling in School to ‘Killing It at NASA,’ a VR Dream Come True - Meet JPL Interns | NASA/JPL Edu
I wanted to do something just for fun, and I was determined to fix my bad habits. So with some friends, I created a self-help game at AthenaHacks, a women’s hackathon. For 24 hours, I was just immersed in my work. I had never felt that way about anything in my life, where I was just zoned in, in my own world, building something I loved. And that's when I realized, I think it's game development. I think this is what I want.So I spent the year teaching myself [game development], and I got a lot more comfortable using the Unity game engine. I went on to attend Make School’s VR Summer Academy in San Francisco. That smaller learning environment opened up the world for me. It boosted my confidence more than anything to have the support I needed. I was like, "Maybe my grades aren’t so great, but I know how to build VR applications – and the world needs VR right now.”So when I went back to my university, I thought, "I'll try again. I'm going to go back to computer science.” And so far so good. I'm into my fourth year at UCLA studying cognitive science, linguistics, computer science and digital humanities. It sounds like a lot, but they're all related in the sense that they're all connected to VR. To me, VR is mainly a study of the mind and how we perceive reality. It’s not just about game development; you also need to understand human behavior to create good user-friendly VR.So going back to your JPL internship, how are you using your VR skills to help scientists and engineers? Michelle Vo poses for a photo with InSight Testbed Lead, Marleen Sundgaard. Image courtesy Michelle Vo | + Expand imageI’m interning in the Ops Lab, and the project I've been working on primarily is called OnSight. OnSight uses Microsoft’s HoloLens [mixed-reality software] to simulate walking on Mars. Mars scientists use it to collaborate with each other.

FAQ

 Do we have to do every lesson and activity each week to participate? 

 You can choose your level of involvement and the activities that are most appropriate for your students. Maybe it’s a busy week and you only have time to watch a short video - great! We have that for you! Maybe your students are up for more of a challenge - great! We have lots of options for every age. 

 What if my students don't have all the materials? 

 The materials lists contain suggested items, some of which can be found at home. If students don't have access to certain materials, they can get creative in finding substitutes or coming up with design solutions that use different materials, including things they may have at home. For example, if an activity calls for a straw and students don't have straws, have them look around for straw-like substitutes such as paper rolled into a straw! If they need string and don't have any, how about dental floss or sewing thread? Improvising is encouraged! 

 Are these activities aligned to any standards? 

 All activities in the Mission to Mars Student Challenge are aligned to NGSS science or engineering standards, and/or Common Core math standards.

Mars Audio Log #10 - NASA
You look at the habitat that is CHAPEA and the way that it’s designed, and you’re working to understand the habitability function of that specific habitat. So when you are looking at CHAPEA as an investigator, what exactly is it that you’re doing? What is it that you’re evaluating as part of this mission in terms of the design of that habitat and how it affects performance?
The CHAPEA habitat includes separate areas for living and working. The communal living space includes a small galley for food preparation. Credit: NASA
Lauren Blackwell Landon: Right. So we’re asking the crew to think about different habitat areas over time. So every couple of months we’ll ask them to sort of answer the series of questions about, for example, their sleep quarters or the kitchen area, their work area, and then think about how that has different kind of psychological impacts or outcomes for them. So is it impacting your performance? Does it affect your team? What is your stress or mood level when you are using this area? And so that measures called SHAQ. We’ve published a lot of this stuff. SHAQ of course, very, very funny name for this. Then we also have a questionnaire that asks them more specifically about the usability of space. This is the shoe questionnaire. And then so we can look at the design and help them get their job done or help them do kind of their general living tasks that they need to do to survive in this environment.
Then we also think about really nuanced detail rich data. And so we allow them to do another measure called the iSHORT, which is essentially a video blog. They can go and record themselves, you know, kind of, “Hey, here’s the treadmill, here’s all the things I don’t like about this. Here’s the exercise equipment.” And we can get really nuanced data about all those different things. And then we’re also able to discuss aspects of the habitat as a team. And so they have team meetings and they might talk about how they want to change certain things or how they would reconfigure certain things.
