There are two main projects that the NASA CoLab team would like assistance with. First, is scripting a life size model of the International Space Station, and second will be to bring in real-time telemetry and state vector data into second life to have real-time operability of an autonomous rover.

The intern will be a part of a small team that is creating a mechanism to allow the public to contribute in the space program. This project will generate a high amount of publicity and will have an opportunity for significant growth within the agency.
