As a Summer Intern, you will work one-on-one with a scientist at the LPI or at the NASA Johnson Space Center on a research project of current interest in lunar and planetary science. Furthermore, you will participate in peer-reviewed research, learn from top-notch planetary scientists, and preview various careers in science.

The 10-week program runs from June 5, 2017–August 11, 2017. You will receive a $5,675 stipend plus $1,000 U.S. travel stipend, or $1,500 foreign travel reimbursement for foreign interns.
