Volunteers Needed for NSS Projects

Do you long to give-back, to become involved in efforts that will actually contribute to mankind’s expansion into space?

NSS has a continuing need for volunteer expertise to support our expanding portfolio of projects. We can use just about anybody who wants to help, from artists and movie-makers to scientists and engineers; from students to Ph.Ds.

Our current projects involve education, public outreach, and technical projects that will demonstrate new technologies and concepts by sending spacecraft into lunar orbit and to deep space. See our Projects webpage for more.

If you want to roll up your sleeves and support the development of space, we invite you to join our Project Volunteer Cadre. Contact our Projects Committee Chairman at dean.larson@nss.org for more information.
