Crowdsourcing Innovation News & Resources | HeroX

Taking out the trash is something we do on a regular basis on Earth, but what happens when you’re in outer space? How is waste managed or better yet, how is it utilized as a resource to support longer space missions? Learn what NASA’s been doing with discarded trash, and how you can get involved.

A NASA challenge has been launched to seek ideas for handling waste during a crewed Mars mission. Submarines may have some lessons with regards to waste. Let's dive into what we can learn!

The next frontier of space voyage is targeting missions that would take years to complete. A lean, efficient mission is imperative if NASA is going to get astronauts deeper into space. What can we learn from these missions? Discover two circular economy solutions the space economy will teach us.

NASA’s Artemis Base Camp will be a permanent outpost at the lunar south pole supported by logistical delivery systems developed by citizen science space innovators as part of the NASA Lunar Delivery Challenge

There is already a long list ofweird stuff that has been sent into space . Some were pranks, others were more serious, but all provided valuable inf…

NASA is sending people back to the moon! This mission will be extremely useful to fill critical knowledge gaps on the lunar surface, including furthering our understanding of the lunar environment and available lunar resources.

Support NASA's efforts to explore the solar system. This Challenge seeks solutions to distribute, store and manage power in space.

See 5 examples of crowdsourcing projects NASA has run either on or outside of the HeroX platform to solve their most interesting problems.

We all know crowdsourcing works - but rarely does it work so well as was the case with Space Poop. So what made it different? HeroX took a long look at this challenge. What we learned might just help other crowdsourcing projects enjoy a little bit of that same “magic.”

NASA: the Sky is the limit in crowdsourcing. NASA uses the Centennial Challenges and Sky for All Challenge to spark innovation. Details inside
