Daytona Beach EagleCam

Support the 2nd phase of EagleCam, in partnership with Intuitive Machines, which is set to launch to the moon in Spring 2026.

Last spring, we attempted to make history with the first-every third-person views of a spacecraft making an extraterrestrial landing. Like all great feats of space exploration, space had a mind of its own and things went a little different than planned. But that doesn't stop Embry-Riddle! Our students are trying again. More than just a camera, EagleCam will also uncover new scientific findings through dust plume imagery, dust accumulation analysis and lunar surface imagery. More information is coming as we develop plans for Phase 2, but gifts made during Ascend Day of Giving will help students on their next historic attempt! Extra special: Only during Ascend Day of Giving will your gift be matched $1 for $1 until we hit $25,000.
