The National Space Society (NSS) invites students worldwide up to 12th grade (18 years old) to participate in the 2021 edition of the annual Space Settlement Contest.
Submissions must relate to free space settlements. Settlements may not be on a planet or moon, although support activities such as mining may be. Settlements must be permanent homes, not temporary work camps. Submissions may focus on one or a few aspects of space settlement and supporting systems, including mines, activities leading up to settlement (such as space hotels), economic and social issues, etc.
The National Space Society (NSS) invites all 2021 contest participants to attend the NSS 2021 International Space Development Conference (ISDC) in Sheraton Gateway, Los Angeles, 27–30 May 2021.
