  The Small Sat Alliance (SSA) invites tomorrow’s space leaders – today’s college students – to propose solutions to 21st century space challenges as it launches its 2nd annual Collegiate Space Competition (CSC).  This year, the CSC will revisit two topics, Orbital Debris and Environmental Monitoring, for students to propose solutions to.  Students may participate as individuals or as a team to craft a dynamic response to one of the topics that includes technical and policy considerations.  Students/teams who have submitted before may not reply to a prompt for which they have already submitted with the same/similar content or approach; however, returning students are encouraged to submit entirely new and original responses given that there are many approaches to solving these challenges.

  For all interested students, the 2023-2024 Competition Portal opens on October 31, 2023 and closes on April 15, 2024.
