Space Settlement Design Competition
A team of 11 students of classes X and XI of K.R. Mangalam World School, G.K.II are
participating in Space Settlement Design Competition.
It is an International Space Settlement Design Competition (ISSDC) that has been in existence
since 1984. In 2020, 17th Asian Regional (ARSSDC) and 4th Indian National Space
Settlement Design Competition (INSSDC) will serve as key building blocks for the final
(ISSDC) organized at NASA's Kennedy Space Centre, Florida.
This contest puts high school students in the shoes of aerospace industry engineers designing
a city in space that will be home for over 10,000 people. Student engineers demonstrate
creativity, technical competence, management skills, space environment knowledge,
teamwork and presentation techniques to conquer the problems inherent in siting and designing
a Space Settlement (aka Space Colony).
Our Team qualified the first step and reached Indian National Space Settlement Design
Competition (INSSDC). The team includes Aarnav Seth (XI), Aadit Chadda(XI), Arihant Goja
(XI), Dishaa Malhotra (XI), Keshav Sachdeva (XI), Manya Saini (XI), Maddhav Suneja (XI),
Rujul Arora (XI), Atin Agarwal (XI), Aakarshan Saryal (X), Ryan Sengupta (X).
