It would be wonderful if you could help spread the word about this year’s application cycle for the Schweickart Prize by sharing it with graduate students or recent grads who might be strong applicants for this unique award. See link to flyer below. The award was created to honor Apollo Astronaut and B612 and Asteroid Day Co-founder Rusty Schweickart.
The students who have won over the last two years are now actively working in the planetary defense field and advancing their ideas. Any help you can provide in reaching potential candidates would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if you’d like to join our ambassador webinar it’s a great way to learn more about the prize and the process. It is happening Thursday, September 18th at 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 6pm CEST. Apollo astronaut Rusty Schweickart will join co-chairs Rusty B Schweickart and Randy Schweickart to review this past year and provide insight on the 2026 application process. This is also a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the prize.
And here is link to the flyer to share with students.
Let us know if you have any questions!
