The Mission Briefing
Work with astronauts, astronaut trainers, rocket scientists and NASA leaders! Compete to have your idea for an experiment built, launched to the International Space Station and carried out in space.
Be there at Mission Discovery, January the 16th at The University of Adelaide, which is in the top 1% of Universities in the world. The University has a rich tradition of excellence and is a leader in Australian higher education and research, having produced numerous Nobel Prize winners and more than 100 Rhodes Scholars.
You will be assigned to a team to formulate an idea about what can be done in space to improve life on earth. You will present your idea and compete against other Mission Discovery teams to produce the best proposal.
Our US partners have a Space Act Agreement with NASA that enables educational projects to be carried out on the International Space Station.
