The\u00a0National Space Society<\/a>‘s\u00a0Enterprise in Space<\/a>, a “NewSpace education” initiative, and\u00a0EXOS Aerospace<\/a>\u00a0are sponsoring the student\u00a0CubeSat Structures Competition<\/a>\u00a0–<\/p>\n

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. To mark the first steps of the collaboration between the\u00a0National Space Society\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0Enterprise In Space (EIS)<\/a>\u00a0program and\u00a0EXOS Aerospace Systems and Technologies, Corp.<\/a>\u00a0and the initiative to send hundreds of student experiments into space, we are offering this worldwide search to find the perfect CubeSat structure!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Whether you create your CubeSat using 3-D printing, innovative technologies, or new types of materials, you will have fun meeting the challenge of creating a lightweight, strong and easy to duplicate CubeSat. If your design is chosen in the semifinalist design challenge, you will be given the opportunity to build the structure and send it to EXOS for evaluation.<\/em><\/p>\n

Applicants must be students 18 years or older. The deadline for submissions is Feb. 1, 2018.<\/p>\n
