Space Quizzes
National Space Quiz
A nationwide competition testing students' knowledge on astronomy, space missions, astrophysics, and space history across junior, senior, and open categories.
Aerospace & Spacecraft Design Competitions
Hands-on engineering challenges inviting participants to design realistic models of satellite systems, lunar rovers, space habitat modules, and rocket propulsion concepts.
About the competitions
These engineering challenges ask participants to design solutions to real problems in spaceflight. Entries are judged on how well they meet a brief, and on how realistic, well reasoned and clearly explained they are.
Design themes
- Satellite systems: structure, power, communication and instruments working together.
- Lunar rovers: vehicles that can move and work on the surface of the Moon.
- Space habitat modules: places where people could live and work in space or on another world.
- Rocket propulsion concepts: ways of producing thrust to reach and travel through space.
What participants gain
Experience of the full design process: understanding a brief, weighing trade-offs, building or modelling a solution and presenting it to judges.
