SINGAPORE SPACE CHALLENGE

The Singapore Space Challenge, organised by the Singapore Space & Technology Association (SSTA),
aims to inspire an interest in space among tertiary students, and to encourage participation in space related activities.
Participants submit design concepts of feasible space-related equipment or modes of transportation, which must be based on technical and industrial research and development.
The SSTA is a non-profit organisation which promotes the development and convergence of the space technology industry in Singapore.

Singapore Space Challenge 2008


A prototype of the MRTC designed
by the TP students

Temasek Polytechnic has won the first-ever Singapore Space Challenge, launched in 2008. The competition this year focuses on the conceptualising of a design for a Martian Transport, capable of ferrying payload around planet Mars. This transport has to meet certain range, payload, costs and propulsion specifications.

The team from Temasek Engineering School, comprising 6 students from the Diploma in Aviation Management & Services, devised a space craft called the Martian Research Transport Craft (MRTC).

The competition was held from 1 Jul 2007 to 15 Jan 2008, and results were announced in Feb 2008.

As part of the prize, the project students were given a booth to exhibit their design concept at the Singapore Airshow 2008, held from 19 to 24 Feb 2008.
