Internship Opportunities Feb. 14, 2012 This is a feature from the NASA/JPL Education Office. Applications Open for NASA/JPL's Planetary Science Summer School NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. is accepting applications from science and engineering post-docs, recent PhDs and doctoral students for its 24th annual Planetary Science Summer School, which will hold two separate sessions this summer (June 18-22 and July 16-20) at JPL. During the program and pre-session webinars, student teams will carry out the equivalent of an early mission concept study, prepare a proposal authorization review presentation, present it to a review board, and receive feedback. By the end of the session, students will have a clearer understanding of the life cycle of a space mission; relationships between mission design, cost, and schedule; and the tradeoffs necessary to stay within cost and schedule while preserving the quality of science.Applications are due March 28, 2012. Partial financial support is available for a limited number of individuals. Further information is available at http://pscischool.jpl.nasa.gov.
