The National Space Society in affiliation with Ohio University is pleased to announce that the International SunSat Design Competition<\/a> is now registering competitive teams.\u00a0 This two-year project is designed to link global scientific communities with university-based (and other) digital media labs for the purposes of advancing knowledge of space-based solar power satellites (SunSats) and illustrating their many Earth-energy applications.<\/p>\n

\"SunSat<\/p>\n

If you are a space scientist, engineer, academic, business or digital media professional with an idea for moving space solar power closer to implementation, consider forming a team to join in this effort. And please forward this message to others.<\/p>\n

In the first cycle of this competition, two First Place prizes of $10,000 and three Second Place prizes of $5,000 are expected to be awarded at the May 2014 International Space Development Conference<\/a> in Los Angeles. For registered teams successfully completing the Feb. 2014 “significant progress point,” an additional $1,000 incentive can be earned, and $1,000 travel assistance will be awarded to winners.<\/p>\n

Winning entries of 2014 and 2015 will be published in the Space Journal<\/a> as Issue No.18: Top SSP Designs.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
