The Caltech Space Challenge is a 5-day international student space mission design competition. Students from a wide range of backgrounds are invited to Caltech, formed into two teams, and given a mission design problem. The teams attend lectures related to mission planning, are given the necessary development tools, and are challenged to produce a viable mission design. This confluence of people and resources is a unique opportunity for young and enthusiastic students to work with experienced professionals in academia, industry and national laboratories.
The 2015 Caltech Space Challenge has concluded. Results can be found here.
