The University of Colorado was awarded a $849,332 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Office of STEM Engagement's National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program to support the Great Lunar Expedition for Everyone (GLEE) project. GLEE will contribute to NASA's Artemis mission to put humans on the Moon by 2024 through a scalable program that engages students in a hands-on learning experience using a standalone platform of technologies called LUNASAT. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Colorado, as the prime recipient, will utilize its expertise in physics, material science, and STEM education to deliver the GLEE project, which aims to support technical, scientific, workforce, and public engagement aspects of the Artemis mission.

In response to the national aeronautics and space administration office of stem engagement s national space grant college and fellowship program - artemis student challenge opportunities solicitation, the colorado space grant consortium (cosgc) proposes the great lunar expedition for everyone (glee) for phase 1 and phase 2 of theme 2: foundational enablers core technologies. Artemis s goal to put humans on the moon by 2024 presents NASA with many challenges that include technical, scientific, logistical, workforce, and engaging the public. Glee will contribute to the artemis mission in the areas of technical, scientific, workforce, and public engagement by creating a scalable program that engages students or teams of students with a standalone platform of technologies that will immerse them in a handson learning experience. This platform is called lunasat and is a fully functional and autonomous spacecraft about the size and weight of a maple leaf. Each lunasat includes a suite of sensors enhanced by innovative
