Hello, we're Virginia Tech's Micro-g NExT team! Every year, NASA creates design challenges based on real-life obstacles they face. We choose one of these challenges and develop a design proposal for NASA in late October. If our proposal is approved, we get started on manufacturing our solution and then get the chance to test our design in NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Houston, Texas.
As an all-freshman team competing in a competition oriented towards graduate students, our team is looking forward to learning a lot throughout this process. Virginia Tech's Astra teams have a track record of impressive designs and approved proposals. Our team this year is looking to continue the Hokie legacy!

To participate in the larger scientific community and inspire innovation in others, our team is committed to sharing our progress throughout the competition. Be sure to follow us on social media and sign up to receive emails for future news about our team!
Our team is also investing in outreach to local schools and youth organizations. With fun, hands-on STEM activities we are aiming to engage the next generation of critical thinkers and problem solvers. We are always open to new outreach ideas, and if your interested, please contact us at VTAstraMicroG@gmail.com.
