OUR Mission:
For more than a half-century, Space Exploration has been an inspirational force in our society toward the development and application of science and engineering. The International SpaceCRAFT Exploration Challenge gives students an incredible opportunity to participate in space exploration themselves – virtually.
As part of a mission team, students will literally design spacecraft, navigate to another planet, land their vehicle, build a planetary habitat, and explore a new planet to find resources in-order-to sustain human life.
Students will learn from subject matter experts including astronauts, scientists and engineers who are directly involved in ongoing missions as they compete with other teams for the best mission design. Lessons on topics ranging from planetary science to spacecraft systems, orbital mechanics to robotic exploration, bring all aspects of space exploration to an understandable level for young students, who learn by doing and creating with these concepts themselves.
The outcome of this program is to inspire young Explorers to pursue STEM subjects in school and ultimately enable them to join the international community of scientists and engineers working on the space frontier.
Open to Explorers ages *12 and up. For this Inaugural International Challenge, the maximum team size is 10. It is recommended that smaller teams of 4 is the optimal number. Schools may wish to enter a number of smaller teams instead of a larger one. Explorers can register as teams or individuals and placed on a team.
*a guide only – highly interested 10 and 11 year-old explorers welcome.
Price of the week-long challenge for teams (10 members) is $5000 Australian or $3800 US and for individual explorers $500 Australian or $380 US.
