Axiom STARS Application Due June 30

/ June 16, 2021

Humans have been living and working in space for 20 years. The International Space Station (ISS), orbiting at ~ 260 miles above Earth at 17,500 mph has been an international treasure for experimentation and discovery. The unique weightless environment, commonly known as “microgravity,” is a result of the space station’s continuous freefall. Over 3,000 experiments conducted on the space station have unveiled novel insights about biological and physical phenomenon and inspired more investigations.

Space is not only a place of discovery, but also a place for innovation and invention. Today, Axiom Space is building the first commercial space station which will launch into low Earth orbit in 2024. Axiom Station will be home to state-of-the-art technology which can be used for conducting research in space, manufacturing products in space, and capturing Earth observation data.

Axiom Station will also be a home to private citizens. And this home will come with the best view. Can you imagine yourself sitting in the Axiom Earth Observatory or in the privacy of your crew habitat staring out the window circling the globe every 90 minutes? What will you imagine in those moments. What ideas will those firing neurons lead to?

We see the Axiom Commercial Space Station as an innovation platform – a place of infinite possibilities. At Axiom Space, we believe that your imagination is the wellspring of ideas for our future success in space and on the ground. If you could access Axiom Station for its orbital lab, the human habitat, or even just for the windows to the world, what idea would you birth from your imagination?

With the Axiom Space STARS scholarship, we hope to encourage students like yourself to take an entrepreneurial view and think about how your imagination might contribute to the emerging LEO space economy. We invite you to untether yourself, unleash your imagination, and share your possibilities with us. This invitation is open to students in any academic major or area of study. The secret sauce must contain some element of space or microgravity as the key ingredient and the sauce itself must be a revenue generating idea, whether for-profit or non-profit. Apply now: https://www.axiomspace.com/news/axiom-space-announces-stars-scholarship
