We regret to announce that the 7th Mission Idea Contest for Deep Space Science and Exploration with Nano/Micro Satellite was postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic. New date and venue will be announced later.

Introduction to the Mission Idea Contest

Follow us on

The Mission Idea Contest (MIC) was established in 2010 to provide aerospace engineers, college students, consultants, and anybody interested in space with opportunities to present their creative ideas and gain attention internationally. The primary goal of MICs is to open a door to a new facet of space exploration and exploitation.

Development of micro/nano-satellites started as an educational and research program primarily at university laboratories. As the micro/nano-satellite technology matures, it has spread rapidly across the academics and industry for practical application.

The 7th Mission Idea Contest for Deep Space Science and Exploration with Nano/Micro Satellite in cooperation with Kimotsuki-town office will be held as follows:
