Welcome!
This website was designed to follow a group of aspiring engineering students at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), that have been selected to design a device that enables an astronaut to collect a sub-surface sample in micro-gravity. Towards the end of May 2017, the team will be traveling to Houston, Texas to test out their device in NASA's Johnson Space Center 6.2 million gallon neutral buoyancy pool.
What does it mean to be a UTEP Space Miner?
Meet the Team!
