Caltech Space Challenge

Two weeks ago, it was time to say bye to our amazing Caltech Space Challenge 2019 participants. The week was intense. A lot of work, sleepless nights, orbiters, landers...But the result was incredible. Congratulations to Team Voyager who proposed a very compelling mission and won the Challenge. Congratulations to Team Explorer for their highly creative work and for thinking outside of the box! Both mission concepts are amazing! A big thank you to our sponsors, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Aerospace, JPL, the Keck Institute for Space Studies, GALCIT, the Moore-Hufstedler Fund. After having seen all the positive energy during the Challenge, we are convinced that space exploration has a very bright future! Stay tuned for the videos of the lectures and final presentations!
