ISSDC International Round – NASA Kennedy Space Center
The Doon School’s Space Settlement Design Team has the opportunity to expand their competition experience by qualifying for the worldwide round of the Space Settlement Design Competition at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Aside from the well-known design difficulty for self sustaining space colonies, students gain valuable experience. Exclusive tours take guests inside rocket construction and executive areas, immersing them in NASA’s rich history of space travel. This strengthens the connection between Doon students and the aerospace field, pushing them to push the limits of human discovery alongside the pioneers who are leading humanity’s next steps into space.
