The Space Station Innovation Challenge

The Space Station Innovation Challenge engages teams of high school and college students in creating innovative new space station capabilities. Not only is the ISS National Laboratory providing incredible research opportunities for scientists from all over the world, new space stations are already being developed for commercial, industrial, government, and educational use. The Space Station Innovation Challenge was developed by the Institute of Competition Sciences through a grant from the ISS National Laboratory. The Challenge provides students with resources covering the broad spectrum of technologies needed for space station operations and research. It guides teams through a process of discovering interesting use cases and technical requirements. It engages students in identifying, designing, and presenting their own future technologies that may one day be valuable additions to the next generation of orbital space stations.
