Please see the message below from KISPE Space, regarding their Designathon competition:

"KISPE Space, as part of the Open Source Satellite Programme, are running a designathon, seeking novel and innovative ways for the development of spacecraft structures. Every satellite needs a good structure – something that houses all of the bits and pieces that make it work and the Open Source Satellite is no exception!

We are after some out of the box thinking to see if we can find something that hasn’t been done before and helps us with our aim to make space more accessible.

We would love anyone who is interested to join us and submit their ideas. You don’t need any prior space domain experience or to be a structural design engineer. We have all of the information on what needs to fit within the structure and are looking for drawings, CAD concepts, etc. to be submitted ahead of our showcase session at the end of September 2021. So if you are an individual, group or perhaps interested in acting as a judge, please get in touch!

Any questions, please drop the team a message at: [email protected]

We can’t wait to hear from you!"
