This is already out, but in case you missed it… The solicitation for the 2026 Schweickart Prize has been announced. The Prize, named after Apollo astronaut and B612 Foundation co-founder Rusty Schweickart, is for a graduate student or recent postdoc with a concept for asteroid exploration, exploitation, or simply defense. The annual winner gets a $10,000 cash award, a ceremony and trophy, project promotion and mentorship from B612, etc.
