Eight Indigenous Australian students from Monash University’s National Indigenous Space Academy (NISA) have gained the chance to work alongside scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California and the UK’s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL Space), two of the world’s leading research centres.
Over ten weeks, they will work alongside American and UK space researchers on projects such as testing UV-resistant space organisms, analysing Jupiter’s atmosphere, and developing software within NASA’s Flight Software Framework.
