The Project assignment given to the teams for the INTO ORBIT season is to identify a physical or social problem faced by humans during long duration space exploration within our Sun’s solar system and propose a solution.
For the INTO ORBIT Challenge, a physical problem is one that impacts the immediate health or safety of a space explorer, such as the need for air, water, food or exercise. A social problem is one that could affect the long-term ability of a human to be productive in space, like isolation and boredom. “Long duration” space exploration means spending a year or more in outer space.
