NASA’s Dragonfly Mission Student and Early Career Investigator Program
NASA Dragonfly Mission Student and Early Career Investigator Program
Have you dreamed of flying on another world? Have you imagined a desert world where the sand dunes are made of the building blocks of life, and it rains methane? Are you prepared to be a part of a journey to the most Earth-like and yet alien world in the solar system?
This world is Saturn’s moon Titan, and Dragonfly, the mission headed to it, seeks Student & Early Career Investigators.
Student Investigators will work with Dragonfly mission team members to conduct research, help formulate Dragonfly mission science and operations plans, or assist in the development of instrumentation, hardware, or testing.
A cohort of up to three students will receive partial funding over a two-year term; announcements of opportunity are expected every calendar year. This program seeks to broaden mission participation and thus targets graduate students who are currently unaffiliated with the Dragonfly team.
