It's time!  Tickets for the 2021 Virtual Spaceport America Cup are live!

ALL TEAMS

Visit https://www.accelevents.com/e/2021VirtualSpaceportAmericaCup to purchase a team ticket.  A reminder from our earlier post, all competing teams must purchase at least 1 team ticket which includes a block of 10 individual tickets valid for all 3 days of the event. Additional team or individual student tickets can be purchased for larger teams.

We appreciate your patience during these pandemic times.  We've been working very hard behind the scenes to make this a great event, even though we'd all prefer to be in the desert flying rockets!  There's a lot more information in this post so read on!

COMPETITION RULES UPDATED

We've updated the competition rules document to clarify the scoring and deliverables for this year.  The biggest change is that the poster session is now scored and requires a maximum 15 minute video presentation created in advance and posted accessible on YouTube.  Each team will have a 15-minute Zoom style Q&A session with ESRA judges in addition to the video.

COMPETITION INTEGRATED MASTER SCHEDULE UPDATED

We've also updated the competition Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) to reflect the virtual competition.  The only change you may not be aware of is the 3rd Progress Report is no longer needed.  Only the Project Technical Report, Poster Session, Podium Session Abstracts are required.
