It's full speed ahead for the 70 teams that have been selected to compete in NASA's 2027 Human Exploration Rover Challenge (HERC)! These college, high school, and middle school teams will spend the next nine months designing and building a human-powered or remote-controlled rover that will compete in April at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, near NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. Check out the full list of teams here: go.nasa.gov/4AXHPAM

The Inspiration Tour continues in Alaska. Great to visit @uafairbanks with @RepNickBegich and meet the students, researchers, and faculty contributing to America’s leadership in space. From sounding rockets at Poker Flat and studying the aurora to satellite communications and Alaska Space Grant student research, some incredible work is happening here at the edge of the Arctic. These students are gaining the experience NASA will need as we return to the Moon, build a lasting presence, and prepare for Mars. Alaska plays an important role in the missions of today and the future.
