Spacecraft Submission Requirements
When submitting to the Spacecraft Design Competition keep in mind that your submission will be evaluated on multiple dimensions, your spacecraft design is judged together with its accompanying presentation and documentation. Applicants should send high-resolution images of the spacecraft, showing the spacecraft from different angles, together with a textual presentation of their work. The main image is especially important and should either be isolated on white background or be a highly professional photograph of the spacecraft. In addition to images, additional data, research and studies could further be uploaded as support documents.
Item | Dimensions | Format | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Main Image Required |
JPEG | The Key Visual shall capture the spacecraft in its entirety, showcasing the design's sleekness and innovation. A high-resolution image or rendering that emphasizes the spacecraft's form and structure against the vastness of space or a simulated environment will convey the grandeur and complexity of the design. The visual should be compelling, inviting viewers to explore the spacecraft's features and design philosophy. | |
Optional Image 1 Required |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 1 shall present the spacecraft in various configurations or during different phases of its mission. This could include launch, orbit, docking, or landing sequences. The image should illustrate the spacecraft's adaptability and functionality in the dynamic conditions of space travel, highlighting the design's versatility and technical prowess. |
Optional Image 2 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 2 shall offer a close-up view focusing on the craftsmanship and technological innovation of the spacecraft. It might zoom in on the propulsion systems, communication arrays, or habitat modules, providing an in-depth look at the intricate details that set the spacecraft apart from others. |
Optional Image 3 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 3 shall depict the spacecraft within its operational context, perhaps orbiting a celestial body or docked to a space station. The setting should enhance the viewer's understanding of the spacecraft's scale, purpose, and capabilities within the vast expanse of space. |
Optional Image 4 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 4 shall illustrate human interaction with the spacecraft, such as astronauts performing maintenance or utilizing the spacecraft's facilities. This image should demonstrate the design's ergonomics and human-centric features, emphasizing the comfort and safety of the crew. |
Documentation PDF Document Highly Optional |
A4 Page Size |
Documentation shall include detailed schematics, technical specifications, and mission profiles. This material should provide a comprehensive overview of the spacecraft's design and functionality, offering insights into the engineering challenges and solutions that have been addressed in its development. | |
Video Video / Audio File Highly Optional |
AVI | The video should be a well-crafted piece that brings the spacecraft to life, perhaps through a simulated mission sequence or a 3D tour of its interior. It should highlight the spacecraft's movement, functionality, and interaction with the environment, providing a narrative that underscores the design's innovation and significance in the field of space exploration. |
