A national challenge to build technical skills for careers in space and beyond.

The U.S. Department of Education invites high schools to bring space missions to students by designing and building CubeSat prototypes.

The deadline for mission proposals is 5:59 p.m. ET on Friday, October 16, 2020. Please submit at least one hour before the deadline to ensure your completed mission proposal is received.
