Home > Press > CubeSat Structures Competition Opens Space Design to Students of the World

Abstract:
The CubeSat Structures Competition invites students from around the world to help advance the state-of-the-art of new space technology by designing new CubeSat structures. Winning designs will be evaluated for use in carrying future student experiments to space aboard SARGE rockets built by the launch vehicle company EXOS Aerospace.

CubeSat Structures Competition Opens Space Design to Students of the World

Washington, DC | Posted on December 16th, 2017

Enterprise In Space, an international initiative of the National Space Society, along with EXOS, 3D Hubs, and Sketchfab are initiating a worldwide search to find the perfect CubeSat Structure. What are CubeSat structures? Experiments that fly in space need a structure to hold them. These structures can be of many shapes and sizes depending on the type of rocket that will take them to space.

Two challenge categories are available to entrants. They can propose a 3D printed design, or they can design with regular fabrication techniques. In both categories, semifinalists will be given the opportunity to build the structure and send it to EXOS Aerospace for evaluation. The Grand Prize winner in each category will have their design flown in space.

Students can enter now for a chance to be a part of NewSpace history via the competition website, http://www.enterpriseinspace.org/cubesats/.

About Enterprise In Space

The National Space Society's Enterprise In Space (EIS) is dedicated to providing access to STEAM education to all through the open online EIS Academy with the help of an artificial intelligence tutor named Ali. The program's first Academy-wide project is the design, launch, and retrieval of a 3D-printed spacecraft carrying 100+ active and passive experiments from K-postgrad student teams from all around the world.
