Odysseus – the pan-European space-science contest for 14-18 year olds – has officially launched. Participants- in teams of up to five students and one teacher – are invited to design and demonstrate a space-themed project under one of the following three topics: “the solar system”, “spaceship – global cooperation” and “the co-evolution of life”.

Winners of the competition will be invited to visit the SpaceExpo and ESA/ESTEC in Noordwijk, in the Netherlands.

Both registration and project submission are currently open. For more information, please read our previous article on Odysseus, or visit the competition website.
