L'SPACE 
Program
 

The Lucy Mission's L'SPACE Program is a free, online, interactive experience open to undergraduate and graduate students interested in pursuing a career within NASA or other organizations in the space ecosystem. Fully funded by NASA, through its Lucy mission, the L'SPACE Program offers rigorous, deep technical training in mission planning and proposal writing. Since its conception in 2018, 13,460 participants from over 950 US colleges and universities from all 50 states have gone through the program. 

L'SPACE consists of two Academies - the Mission Concept Academy (MCA), and the NASA Proposal Writing and Evaluation Experience (NPWEE) Academy. Students may participate in one Academy per semester. Each 15-week Academy is designed to provide unique, hands-on learning and insight into the dynamic world of the space industry. Students can expect to learn NASA mission procedures and protocols from industry professionals as they collaborate with fellow team members to complete mission-related team-projects.

Requirements for participation: Students must be U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents and be enrolled in a US college or University as an undergraduate student (graduate students may apply to NPWEE); have access to a computer with internet, webcam, and headset capabilities; and have time to devote an additional 6-10 hours per week, beyond the online session requirements, towards team projects.
