Astronaut Al Worden Endeavour Space Challenge 2024

The “Astronaut Al Worden Endeavour Space Camp Challenge 2024”'s objective is to inspire our students and encourage them in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics subjects.  

The prize for this Challenge is a sponsored trip to attend the International Space Camp program taking place in Huntsville, Alabama, USA from 3 to 13 July 2024 for four students and a teacher/chaperone.

The mission statement is as follows: 

Propose a mission concept that allows mankind to reach Proxima Centauri, the nearest star system (closest to the sun). 

The Challenge is as follows: 

Interstellar travel takes thousands of years and mission architectures range from "generation ships" to blasting nuclear bombs to propel a spacecraft to a significant percentage of the speed of light (project Irion).

Justify: To justify crewed exploration vs robotic exploration into the star systems

Solve: Moral issues encountered with a large community living in a confined environment for an extended period of time

Transform: How life can be supported during the travel duration to star systems e.g. food supply, air quality 

The result of this challenge is given out on the 22nd Feb 2024 at the Singapore Air Show.  Team 10 came in first and is awarded the scholarship to Space Camp @ Alabama, USA.
