The PISCES Lunar Outpost Design Competition

The major goal of the PISCES Lunar Outpost Student Design Competition is to allow the interaction between PISCES and students with the purpose of furthering the development of space exploration. The competition invites students to develop new and creative ideas relating to a lunar outpost in the following areas:
  • overall habitat design (architecture)
  • lunar resource utilization
  • supporting subsystems
  • issues of operations in space and on planetary surfaces
  • analog field demonstrations of planetary surface exploration systems
The first report was due by July 15th and now, because of our success we are required to continue the development of our idea and report the results in a presentation and paper at the annual PISCES Conference and Analog Outpost Workshop. For us, that means we will have a very extraordinary opportunity to not only present our ideas, but meet and connect with people who have an extensive knowledge of various aspects of space exploration.
