NSS Space Business Plan Contest
The National Space Society has long envisioned large human settlements in free space and on planetary bodies that will accommodate hundreds of thousands to millions of people living, working, and raising families in a shirt-sleeve environment. These space settlements, based on the visions of Gerard O’Neill, will be optimized to allow people to live life to its fullest. This is a long-standing vision, but has become more immediate than ever with the emergence of increasingly low-cost launch and the growing newspace economy.
This competition is not for merely an idea or a proposal, but for a complete preliminary business plan that not only outlines your vision, but speaks to building it as a prosperous business endeavor. Three winning teams will be invited to the NSS’s International Space Development Conference 2027
(ISDC 2027) in May, 2027 in Los Angeles, California (isdc.nss.org).
The competition will pay the travel and hotel expenses for one person representing each of the three winning teams to attend ISDC 2027 to give a presentation and judges attending the presentations will then decide the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams.
The National Space Society will soon announce their new competition for space business plans. Fill in the form below to be put on the announcement email list.
