NASA announced an Exploration Design Challenge on Monday to give students in kindergarten through 12th grade the chance to join the first spaceflight of the Orion multi-purpose crew vehicle, the Exploration Flight Test-1, launching in 2014. The challenge engages students in learning more about and designing an effective radiation shield to protect future astronauts flying aboard Orion missions to beyond the moon and to Mars.
