HOST Design Challenge

Hospitality Of Space Tourism (HOST)

New launch vehicles will enable large groups of people to venture into space.

Help us identify research and development opportunities to enable larger Space Stations.

For the inaugural Summer 2025 competition, College students will design Space Stations that incorporate aspects of hospitality.

We are encouraging students to identify ways of increasing the quality of guest experience during a stay at a Space Station.

“As the next generation or re-usable rockets unlock access to orbital space,
