The deadline for the 2014 Sacknoff Prize for Space History is June 20, 2014.
First awarded in 2011, the annual prize is designed to encourage students to perform original research and submit papers with history of spaceflight themes. Open to undergraduate and graduate level students enrolled at an accredited college or university, the winner receives:
- A $300 cash prize,
- A trophy,
- Publication in the journal, Quest: The History of Spaceflight,
- An invitation to present at the annual conference for the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT).
Although works must be historical in character, they can draw on disciplines other than history, eg. cultural studies, literature, communications, economics, engineering, science, etc. Comparative or international studies of the history of spaceflight are encouraged. Possible subjects include, but are not limited to, historical aspects of space companies and their leaders; the social effects of spaceflight; space technology development; the space environment; space systems design, engineering, and safety; and the regulation of the space business, financial, and economic aspects of the space industry.
