INTERNATIONAL SPACE CHALLENGE
Previously known as the Singapore Space Challenge, ISC is an annual transdisciplinary technology design competition started in 2006 that challenges youth aged 13 to 25 y/o to design and develop
realistic space-related projects.
2000students have taken part since its inauguration
18countries participated in the previous iteration
• Promote technical and industrial research in Science and Technology fields
• Challenge the thinking processes and creativity of youths

STARTER CATEGORY (NEW!)
The International Space Challenge will be split into 2 categories – Starter and Open. The starter category targets students aged 13 to 18 years old. The aim of the starter category is to allow participants of all educational backgrounds and skill levels to take part in the ISC.
We hope to spread awareness amongst the youth about how diverse the space sector can be and inspire them to learn more about the space and related high technology industries.

SPACE WEATHER
The Sun’s constant outflow of solar wind fills space with athin and tenuous wash of particles, fields and plasma.
This solar wind, along with other solar events like giantexplosions called coronal mass ejections, influences the verynature of space and can interact with the magnetic systemsof Earth and other worlds.
What is it about
Much like terrestrial weather, space weather results from acomplex system driven both by the Sun and events muchcloser to Earth.

SPACE WEATHER
The advanced technologies which we have become dependent upon in our everyday lives on earth are vulnerable to space weather and unpredictability of the sun. Examples include satellite electronics, communications and GPS signals, and even – when extreme –utility grids on Earth.
Why it matters
Satellites & GPS devices
Power grids & systems
Aircraft Communications
International space station

ARE YOU READY TO TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE?
“Space is for everybody. It's not just for a few people in science or math, or
for a select group of astronauts. That's our new frontier out there, and it's
everybody's business to know about space.”

FROM THE PARTICIPANTS
“Our team learned much about space research through the numerous expert talks and online discussions. Experiences gained, such as working with ROS, AWS RoboMaker, and others will be very valuable in our university studies. The challenge description sparked and fueled a passion for space exploration amongst several of our members. This will have a positive impact on their career choices for decades to come.”
Jack Naish, Team Range RoversSingapore Space Challenge 2021
“It is an exciting opportunity to be able to design something that could potentially work on the moon as well as be guided by people who have done similar. I wished I had these opportunities when I was younger as it might have made a difference in my career choice. For students it is a fun and challenging way to explore whether a career in STEM is the right fit.”

FROM THE MENTORS & EXPERTS
"I joined SSC because I was inspired to enable mankind in becoming an interplanetary space faring civilization. I wanted to start it off by joining SSC and helping the space industry solve problems and make new discoveries. My advice for all participants is never be resistant to change and never be afraid to start over again.
Shanmugam SuryaMentor for SSC 2021 and SSC 2020 Grand Prize Winner
“I am thankful to be a part of the reviewing panel for this year, and I am so amazed at
the quality and innovation behind all of the contest submissions. Thank you to the SSTL
Team for hosting this launch pad for our young minds and voices. To the Moon!”

FROM INDUSTRY VETERANS
"The Singapore Space Challenge will continue to enthuse and wow young students about STEM and its practical applications. Students, I wish to express my admiration that you have chosen to take on this challenge amidst your heavy schoolwork. You should be proud of yourselves, as I am of you.“
Professor Lui Pao Chuen,Advisor to the National Research Foundation, Prime Minister’s Office
“The learning and mastery of engineering does not happen overnight. Through various settings and experiences, we can better appreciate the challenges of this field. The Singapore Space Challenge is a stimulating platform that provides the participants with the opportunities to learn outside the classroom and meet with space experts locally and globally.”
