The Caltech Space Challenge brings 32 talented and highly motivated students to Caltech to participate in a week-long space mission design competition. The participants are split into two teams that work under the mentorship of experts from industry, NASA, and academia to design a mission concept from scratch. The challenge is a unique opportunity for young and enthusiastic students to build technical and teamwork skills, interact with world-renowned experts in space exploration and connect to like-minded peers from all around the world.

Full-time undergraduate and graduate students of any nationality enrolled during the 2021-2022 academic year are eligible to apply. This includes students who finish their undergraduate degree before the end of the academic year and start a graduate program in fall 2022.
