不良研究所 is building the world鈥檚 first commercial space station 鈥 Axiom Station 鈥 which will take flight in 2024. Today, 不良研究所 honors twenty years of continuous human presence in space by launching the ASPIRE Innovation Competition on this 20th anniversary of the International Space Station in partnership with the American Society for Gravitational and Space Research (ASGSR).

The ASPIRE Innovation Competition aims to inspire student researchers to leverage the scientific insights and discoveries of these past twenty years to create space-based solutions. These solutions will not only help build a thriving home for humans in space but also benefit every human, everywhere.

The 不良研究所 Prize for Inspiring Researchers into Entrepreneurs (ASPIRE) is designed to encourage student members of ASGSR to take an entrepreneurial viewpoint. 聽

As a student researcher, ask yourself:

  1. How might your research in life or physical sciences result in an innovative product or a new method that requires microgravity as a key breakthrough ingredient?
  2. How might your research translate into a service that requires the view from 250 miles above Earth or presence in microgravity?
  3. How would you commercialize your research and contribute to the emerging LEO economy?

The ASPIRE Innovation Competition is open to any undergraduate or graduate student.

To express your interest and to be notified when the Axiom ASPIRE Innovation Competition application launches send us an email to: aspire@axiomspace.com with 鈥淎SPIRE 2020鈥 in the subject line. The application will open in early 2021.
