Participation in the event can be taken not only by engineers, programmers, technicians, constructors or robots, but also by biologists, students of various faculties, or just all who are fascinated by the cosmos and our planet. The participants’ task will be to face one of the challenges prepared by scientists from NASA. Developed conceptual solutions, programs, applications or data visualizations can be used in space exploration.
