Yes, this competition is open to both local and international students.

A Gmail account is not compulsory, you can use any email handler as long as it can receive and send out emails.

Of course! We welcome students from all backgrounds and encourage diversity.

Some of our previous teams had diverse participants which included business students that were able to provide great insights when it comes to financial analysis and projections.

Don’t worry about it being too challenging, it really is manageable because there will be guidance from the technical experts. You can also look for a teacher from your school as a mentor if you need extra guidance.

We do also occasionally share materials relating to SSC topic on our SSC Facebook Page:

(https://www.facebook.com/SingaporeSpaceChallenge)   so you can follow us there as well.

Total registration fee is SGD60 per team (4 participants).

We only accept payment via Bank Transfer, Cheque, or Paypal. Please state your invoice number and team name in the remarks.

Teams are not required to visit Singapore to complete the challenge. Submission of mandatory deliverable (mission report, video presentation and computer simulation) are to be done online via email. However, if teams would like to attend the <Award Ceremony> or participate in the <Community Choice closed door pitching session>, flights and accommodations will be at the team’s expense. SSTL will be happy to provide assistance and advice.

We will be sending out a Google Drive folder for each team to upload their projects when the submission deadline is approaching. The submission deadline is on 31 December 2020, 5PM (GMT+8).

Do note that late submissions will be penalized and you will only need to submit the Final Report. However, if you want your mentor or expert to look though a preliminary report, you can do so at your discretion.

It is made up of four categories:

• Technical Characteristics (30%)

Team(s) in Singapore

Bonus points are awarded to teams with 2 or more members attending industry visits and/or mentor workshops etc. More details will be provided later.

Teams located overseas

Overseas teams who are unable to attend the industry visits and/or mentor workshops will still have the opportunity to earn bonus points. They will be given a link to access the workshops at a later date.

Most of the deadlines for SSC are in December which coincides with the school holidays, so students will have sufficient time to work on it.

We can put you in contact with our past participants so that you can get a better idea. Some of them will also be in SSC Discord Chat and will be more than happy to share about their experience.

It is not necessary to fill up all 50 pages – if you are able to present your ideas and project in less than 50 pages, the judges and technical experts will be happy with that as well.

The combined file size should not exceed 2GB.

This is an award given to the team that gives the best live presentation on stage to a closed-door panel of judges.

Details of how it will be conducted will be shared on a later date pending travel restrictions and the global COVID situation. Check the website, be on SSC’s Discord, Facebook to stay updated!

An email will be sent out to participants after the complete submission of key deliverable (i.e. mission report, presentation video, simulation video) to invite participation for this award.As we have limited slots available, it will be selected by first-come-first-serve basis.
