EIS Space Debris Student Competition PREVIEW
DISCLAIMER: DO NOT SUBMIT PROPOSALS. This is just a preview. Actual start of the competition depends on the obtainment of funds from donors and investors to cover the costs of the CubeSat bus and the GOLD deorbit system. If these funds are not secured, this program will not proceed.
The Enterprise in Space Orbital Debris Mitigation Student Competition is expected to launch to space student experiments that will support a new technology for orbital debris mitigation or develop new experiments for orbital debris detection. When this competition starts (date TBD), it will be led by Global Aerospace Corporation (GAC), the organization in charge of the Enterprise in Space Orbital Debris Mitigation Center for Excellence. The competition will be organized in different phases, at the end of which the best experiments will fly to space. GAC will manage the competition, supervise the students, and select the best experiments that will move on to the next phases. The experiments will support the Gossamer Orbit Lowering Device (GOLD) inflatable deorbit system or will perform orbital debris detection.
