NASA Space Roboticist Challenge Now Open for the Fly Foundational Robots (FFR) Mission
NASA is seeking U.S. researchers to lead experiments on the Fly Foundational Robots (FFR) Mission.
The NASA Space Roboticist Challenge invites principal investigators, post-doctoral researchers, professors, and graduate students to compete for allocated time on a 7-Degree-of-Freedom robotic arm in Low Earth Orbit, supporting NASA’s In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) strategy.
Registration is open now at SpaceRoboticistChallenge.com. White paper submissions open June 9th during the COSMIC Virtual Convergence 2026, so if you’re joining us that week, this is your moment to learn more and get in.
