The Astro-Huskies Team are participating in the NASA Lunabotics Competition in person at Kennedy Space Center for the fourth time in-person. The competition requires designing, building, testing, and competing with an autonomous construction robot that can traverse through an obstacle zone, excavate, and construct a berm.

The John T. Parsons History Project is a historical study of the Parsons Corporation in Traverse City that forms the central story in the history of industrial Traverse City since World War II. Traverse City is of course typically known as a vacationland and cherry growing region, but it has also played an important role in the development of Michigan and national aerospace and related industries.
The goal of this project is to maintain and improve on Michigan Tech's life-saving buoy network on the Great Lakes. The buoys measure wave conditions, wind speed and direction, water temperature, water current speeds, and detailed meteorological information. Funds from this project will be used to help support the continued operations and maintenance of the buoy network.
