Who Can Enter
Entries are not confined to the traditional definition of “Space”. Instead, we are looking for all “Space Scalable” products, services, and ideas. Space-scalable is defined as technologies or capabilities developed to solve problems here on Earth for commercial benefit and profit, but are also scalable to solve key long range space problems when the demand ultimately exists, to help make the settlement of the space frontier a reality. This could include biotechnology, nanotechnology, medicine, robotics, radiation mitigation, smart materials, alternative energy, etc.
