16+ year-olds to design a Small Satellite

A new British "Nanosat" small satellite

Nanosat Design & Build Competition Delivery Partner.

proposals to be a delivery partner for UKSA first education outreach competition aimed at the tertiary level age range (16+).

The competition will task entrants to design and build a Nanosat (a small satellite between 1-10kg) that can be used to inform/provide innovative solutions to support the UK's climate change or decarbonisation efforts.

Entrants will compete for a substantial Challenge Fund whereby the prize funding will be used by winning entrants to further develop or manufacture their satellite design with a view to making it launch-ready.

Entries must be suitable for launch from a UK spaceport and meet the necessary weight, size and licensing requirements.

This competition will also need to facilitate a series of partnerships with space sector bodies and industry specialists so that all entrants to the competition will have the opportunity to receive mentoring and expert advice to help develop their proposals. This expert guidance will provide young people with valuable connections and insight into the sector as well as signposting valuable resources. UKSA are looking to appoint a delivery partner to run, facilitate and deliver this initial competition on behalf of the UK Space Agency and the Department for Transport.
