NASA is calling on the next generation of collegiate innovators to imagine bold new concepts pushing the boundaries of human exploration on the Moon, Mars, and beyond through the 2026 NASA Revolutionary Aerospace Systems Concepts \u2013 Academic Linkage (RASC-AL) competition. The RASC-AL challenge fuels innovation for aerospace systems concepts, analogs, and technology prototyping by bridging gaps through university engagement with NASA and industry. The competition is seeking U.S.-based undergraduate and graduate-level teams and their faculty advisors to develop new concepts to improve our ability to operate on the Moon and Mars. This year\u2019s themes range from developing systems and technologies to support exploration of the lunar surface, to enhancing humanity\u2019s ability to operate and return data from the surface of Mars. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Award: $112,000 in total prizes<\/p>\n

Open Date: August 13, 2025<\/p>\n

Close Date: February 23, 2026<\/p>\n
