The Abingdon team competed once again at the annual UK Space Design Competition regional heat. This year’s brief asked the students to design a Martian settlement to help answer the age old question: is there life on Mars? On all aspects of the project, from structural engineering to astronaut psychology to project management, the students worked together as a company to pitch their proposal to the Wayfarer’s Collective. This was our third time at the very demanding competition, with the students gaining confidence and expertise each year, and so we are very excited to have won! The team will now compete in the national final in March, for the chance to make it to the International Space Settlement Design Competition.
