ALT Promotional graphic for the NASA Space Apps Challenge featuring three past participants holding award trophies. Text reads “Explore the Next Frontier” and announces the event dates, November 14–15, 2026. The NASA Space Apps Challenge logo and a registration link, spaceappschallenge.org, appear at the bottom.
ALT A view of our blue Earth from space serves as the background to a graphic resembling an incoming phone call. The username says "Your Future is Calling -- NASA Astronaut Applications" and the profile picture is a rocket outline. Will you answer the call?

ALT A graphic that says "14 Challenges" and features the NASA Space Apps Challenge logo and five photos that shows the Moon and a rocket, the Earth from space, a night-time view of the sky, the surface of Mars, and another view of the Earth from space.
ALT A graphic that says: "Challenge - Flame in Freefall: SI-Powered Fire Safety Insights from Microgravity Combustion Data. For decades, NASA has studied how flames and fire behave in microgravity, gathering a trove of experimental data along the way. That knowledge matters more than ever as humans gear up to return to the Moon and press on to Mars, yet the volume of results makes them hard to find, compare, and understand. Your challenge is to create an interactive, SI-powered dashboard that summarizes, ranks, and interprets those findings to deliver fire safety insights for human space exploration."
