This summer, NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) Internship Project (SIP) is hosting several students across the agency at NASA Headquarters in Washington; NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland; and NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland. SCaN oversees the operations and advancement of NASA’s two primary communications networks – the Near Space Network and the Deep Space Network – which enables spacecraft to send data to and from Earth. SCaN’s interns contribute to the development of network enhancing technologies.
Over a ten-week session, high school, undergraduate, and graduate students work with mentors to complete a summer project that furthers the agency’s capabilities while also gaining professional development experience. Interns leverage backgrounds in engineering, computer science, mathematics, marketing, writing, project management, and more to contribute to NASA’s mission and vision in a meaningful way. Three of NASA SCaN’s 80 interns are highlighted below. These students join NASA with diverse backgrounds and work on different projects – demonstrating the breadth of opportunities available through NASA internships.
