Eligible schools, universities, museums, libraries, and planetariums
interested in receiving historic NASA objects for their STEM programs have
until Friday, June 30, to apply for the 60th screening of the NASA Artifacts
Module.
Artifacts may also be associated with achievements or improvements in

The agency has thousands of items available ranging from decommissioned
programs, science instruments, small hardware flown in space, and other major
agency activities for loan through that represent the history behind the
science and technology of NASA.
“NASA’s Artifacts program offers an opportunity to encourage the next
generation of science, technology, engineering, and math students – the
Artemis Generation – and many other space enthusiasts, with these priceless
artifacts to share the agency’s awe-inspiring accomplishments,” said
Lauren Katz, exhibits and artifacts program manager at NASA. “We have a
simple process online now for eligible institutions to secure their chance to
participate in this unparallel event. We hope many apply!”
Recognizing the important role it has played in our nation’s history, NASA
makes available artifacts for STEM educational outreach activities and
displays for the benefit of all. Since 2009, NASA has loaned more than 13,000
artifacts from its extensive collection to organizations across all 50 U.S.
states.
Following their application, the agency anticipates notifying recipients in
July. Called custodians, applicants will be required to pay associated
packaging, handling, and shipping of any artifact.
