Graduate students, undergrads and faculty advisors: we want you! Here's a "cool" opportunity to compete for a prize purse of $18,000. Our Human Lander Challenge invites teams of students to develop proposals for understanding and developing advanced cryogenic fluid technologies within the next three to five years. Without a strong atmosphere like Earth's, the Moon experiences extreme temperature swings between day and night. Future missions to the Moon will require extremely cold cryogenic fluids—kept at temperatures between -238º and -460ºF—for propulsion and life support systems. Teams can write a five-to-seven-page proposal, in addition to a two-minute video, summarizing the team's proposal concept. Up to 12 finalists will be selected for a $9,250 stipend to participate in the Human Lander Challenge Competition Forum this June. The top three finalist teams will share a prize purse of $18,000. Are you ready to dive into this chill-seeking expedition? Apply by March 3, 2025! https://lnkd.in/ehefng3B

A temperature like -480°C is physically impossible because it would mean going below absolute zero -273.15°C or 0 Kelvin Absolute zero is the lowest temperature that can be reached in the universe. At this point, the energy level of matter approaches zero, and even atoms become almost completely motionless. It is impossible to go below absolute zero according to the laws of physics. Therefore, if you mention a value like -480°C, it does not represent a real physical "cold," as it is an excessively extreme temperature that cannot exist. It can be thought of as more of a concept, but such a temperature cannot be measured in the real world or space.
You don't use SI units at NASA?

Seems cheap, prize wise, for a tech advancement you are asking for. Good luck. Tough budget year I guess. Some would charge you millions for access to those concepts.

1w$18,000? Shared among finalist teams? This is cheap in 2025, even among academic institutions, let alone NASA.
