This is a high-level description of the idea. Please use ELI5 (explain like I'm five years old) wording and summarize things for anyone to understand what you want to achieve. I would like to propose the purchase and installation of new vacuum chamber components at the University of New Mexico's human rated altitude chamber. I would also like to propose open testing opportunities to support lunar human habitation research within the community. The budget for the project is about $300 over the maximum but I will cover that out of pocket myself.

Mission Cosmic Colombia uses the inspiration of space to democratize STEAM education for children and youth across Colombia, focusing on underserved communities and patients affected by cancer and degenerative diseases. Through a 7 day immersive program, Solidarity Space Kits, teacher training, and regional replication, the project delivers hands-on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics experiences that build skills, emotional resilience, and a culture of curiosity. This proposal requests funding to produce and distribute educational kits, run workshops, train educators, docu...

We are building a tiny, high-tech space science experiment (a satellite payload) that will launch into space on a real rocket! Think of it like packing a "Space Backpack" with special sensors to measure radiation and temperature up in orbit. To make it fun and easy for everyone to learn from, we are creating a cartoon story series featuring a character named Luzinha the Space Scout. Kids and students will get to follow her adventures on social media, see her live data, and learn how real satellites work, and use the satellite for high school student analog mission. The mission is called LUZINH...

The Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC) is launching an online learning platform, the SpaceGen Academy, to provide global youth with access to high-quality space education. We are asking for a $2,000 sponsorship to fund our Thinkific learning platform. In return, MoonDAO gets to co-create a future course on space decentralization, reach 40,000+ young space professionals, collect leads for future MoonDAO builders, and integrate directly with our global network.

AORA, the Astronaut Operational Readiness Academy, is an open aerospace e-learning platform created by AEAML, the Astronaut Training Agency of Mexico and Latin America. The idea is simple: space education should be accessible to anyone with curiosity, discipline, and the dream of building the future. AORA is a EdTech digital academy for the space industry. It is designed for learners across the Americas and the rest of the world. Students enter as cadets and can take courses, follow learning paths, use AI tutors, track progress, earn certificates, collect mission patches, improve their AOR Re...

Space is the future for our civilization, and while substantial work is being done to physically get us there quicker and for less money, we still need to work to ensure that people can live and work while in space. Specifically, we need to make sure that more than just a very select few can leave our world. So, we work to bridge the medical gap and allow access to space for more people and also make the lives of those already there or about to go a bit easier and safer. Our Automatic Injection System is designed to administer medications to astronauts without them having to think about it. Th...

This is a study relating to a concept for a space structure that will offer important facilities that will allow for the crucial research needed to help us towards long-term living in space. What makes the concept very innovative is that it is completely unique, by offering facilities that do not exist in any other design.

We are trying to be the space x of Africa, my idea is called Africa United space, a space exploration company, we have been registered since 2021 and I personally have been funding the idea untill now, we have applied for a license from the government of South Africa as we are based here,right now we have spent over $20,000, and are now broke and the start up as been registered because we owe some tax as the business is yet to be profitable, I understand your max funding is $4,000, if we could pay our hands on that , it will save my idea from going to extinct, I have already been through hell ...

MoonDAO will sponsor one seat on a two-week simulated Mars mission at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in the Utah desert, operated by the Mars Society, during the 2026–2027 field season. The person in that seat lives and works as a full crew member on a simulated planetary base, wears an analog spacesuit for every excursion outside the habitat, follows the same daily operations and reporting the rest of the crew does, and runs one or two science experiments designed with the help of a professional researcher. Everything the crew member records is shared openly, so MoonDAO and the wider...

The Human Space Program (HSP) Ethics Task Force is charged with developing a comprehensive ethical framework for the sustainable, moral, and inclusive exploration and development of the solar system. The Task Force comprises pioneering Space Philosopher Frank White as core Advisor, assisting ongoing research on the ethics of human space migration led by his student, Dr. Aurobi Das (Ph.D. in Ethical and Moral Leadership of Human Space Migration, May 2026) as Core Team Member and Project Lead. This proposal requests Phase 1 Seed Funding for a 4-month operational window. This initial phase focu...
