TeamIndus challenges students, announces lab2moon
TeamIndus, a space technology startup and the only Indian team competing for the Google Lunar XPrize, announced the launch of Lab2Moon, a competition to challenge the brightest young minds globally to think beyond our planet and create an experiment to fly on board the TeamIndus spacecraft to the Moon in 2017.
Hyderabad: TeamIndus, a space technology startup and the only Indian team competing for the Google Lunar XPrize, announced the launch of Lab2Moon, a competition to challenge the brightest young minds globally to think beyond our planet and create an experiment to fly on board the TeamIndus spacecraft to the Moon in 2017.
As part of Lab2Moon, youngsters between 14 and 25 years have to imagine, design and build a project that would catalyse the evolution of mankind as a sustainable multi-planetary species. Lab2Moon will look for experiments in sustainable living that will have benefits both on earth and beyond.
Lab2Moon seeks to challenge students to come up with unique experiments for their projects - which could range from investigating how seeds can grow in space through to examining new possibilities in renewable energy.
Registrations open on L2M.teamindus.in. Teams of up to three members will be required to write a 300 word overview of their project, share drawings and upload a 2-minute video explaining why it should go to the Moon. The last date for registering teams is the 20th of August, 2016.
A jury of internationally-renowned scientists and technologists including Dr. K. Kasturirangan, former Chairman of ISRO, will shortlist 20 teams by the 25th of August, 2016. These teams will then develop a working prototype by the turn of the year.
In January 2017, the 20 shortlisted teams will be flown to Bangalore to showcase their project to the jury. The winner will be declared on 26th January, 2017.
