NASA Wants Your Help to Build a Rocket Part

NASA is on the hunt for innovative thinkers to redesign a critical component of their rocket system. They've launched a challenge for anyone who believes they can improve the ejection system for their SPEED project.

Why SPEED Matters

The SPEED project is vital because it helps NASA assess the safety and stability of rockets during re-entry. Currently, the designs for the ejection system are still in the conceptual phase—complex and untested. NASA is seeking fresh ideas to enhance reliability.

Prize Pool

NASA is offering a total of $7,000 in prizes, with $3,000 awarded to the first-place winner.
