Internship Opportunity at Cislune Inc.
The NASA Florida Space Grant Consortium (FSGC) has one opportunity for an internship, during Fall of 2025 or Spring 2026, at Cislune Inc., located at Los Angeles, CA. The program usually commence on September 1, 2025 and conclude on December 15, 2025. The dates may vary. This will be a paid internship of $10,220/UG and $12,600/Grad for the 14-week program. $1000 will be added to the internship stipend for airfare and other travel related expenses. FSGC is not responsible for the housing and accommodation in Los Angeles. The student has to be a US Citizen and enrolled in a university or college in Florida. This opportunity is open to both undergraduate and graduate students
The goal of this internship program is to train and recruit Florida science/engineering students (US citizens only) into the aerospace & aviation workforce as future employees, while encouraging further study and academic achievement. Cislune develops lunar mining, ISRU, and construction tech through NASA SBIR/STTR awards. Space Grant interns join in real R&D that advances the Lunar Ecosystem.
What You’ll Do
● Build rover hardware, autonomy software, and run wheel–soil terramechanics tests.
● Calibrate mini spectrometers/LIDAR and craft mission‑focused communications.
● Share results in weekly reviews with senior engineers and NASA collaborators.
Logistics
● Term: 14 weeks in the Fall/Spring.
