NASA offers student internships
NASA is looking for three local Hawaiian college students to participate as interns in the Low Density Supersonic Decelerators project at the Pacific Missle Range Facility this summer.
The program is hoping to attract college sophomores or juniors from STEM-degree tracks (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). Selected college interns will support day-to-day mission operations as part of the launch operations group.
The interns will also become familiar with scientific ballooning, supersonic decelerator technology, solid-fueled rocket motors, range operations and countdown operations.
The goal of the internship is to introduce students to career possibilities within NASA and the U.S. Navy.
