(APSCO) in collaboration with Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU), and Belt
and Road Aerospace Innovation Alliance (BRAIA) , is organizing Microsatellite Design Contest on the
theme of ‘Using Space peacefully, exploring the vast universe, realizing the
common dream of mankind’’ from 31 October to 2 November, 2019 in Xi’an
China
2.
The event aims to build a framework for
micro-satellite platform design and applications of CubeSats by attracting the
university students from all over the world. Each group should contain no more
than 5 participants and can have 1 or 2 instructors for guiding their work. Top
10 teams will be selected to compete in final round held at Xi’an, China. Winners
will be awarded cash prize of 10,000 CNY, 8000 CNY, and 5000 CNY for first,
second and third position respectively. The project topics for competition are
as under:
a.
Overall
scheme design of microsatellite platform. Design the overall scheme of
microsatellite platform, targeting at the modularized, standardized
microsatellite, which is mainly represented by CubeSat.
b.
Component
design of microsatellite. Mainly targeting at CubeSat standardized component
design, such as flywheel, magnetic torquer, sun sensor, power system, etc.
c.
Mission
of microsatellite design. Explore the concept and design of various space mission
that microsatellites can carry out.
d.
Load
design of microsatellite. Based on the structure of CubeSat, carry out standardized
science and application load design.
