The Australian Space Design Competition is now in its fifth year of competition, and has grown since it's inception to include in excess of 100 finalist students annually. We have received financial and in kind sponsorship from both the Australian and queensland governments, as well as many elements of private and corporate business. With links to sister competitions in Europe, Asia, and North America, and our parent competition at the Johnson Space Centre in the USA, we have an incredibly strong international focus and ties.
