NASA OPSPARC will continue to accept registrations and submissions for OPSPARC 2019 while NASA is in a shutdown status due to the federal furlough. During the shutdown all communications for the Challenge will be turned over to our partners at PRIVO. Please direct all OPSPARC 2019 questions to: OPSPARC@privo.com. Depending upon the length of the furlough, the OPSPARC schedule may be adjusted once the federal government returns to an operational status. Winners will not be selected while the federal furlough is in place. Please check the OPSPARC website regularly for updates once the federal government resumes operations.
