What kind of person are we looking for?
As humanity steps into space, we need not only magnificent rockets but also geotechnical underground foundation engineering. The TC310 Space Geotechnics Technical Committee is dedicated to researching construction technologies for extraterrestrial habitats and soil mechanics on the Moon, Mars, and beyond. This time, we invite you to pick up your paintbrush (design software, or even hand-drawn sketches) and use your boundless imagination to perfectly blend space exploration, geotechnical engineering, and space remote sensing. Design an official visual identity (Logo & Cover Image) for space geotechnical scientists and engineers around the globe!
Competition Highlights & Major Honors:
- Prestigious Judging Panel: Your work will be reviewed by panels of experts from top organizations like space agencies, and the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering!
- Official Recognition: Win official certificates and exquisite gifts. The winning entry will become the official visual identity on the TC310 official website!
- Special Focus: This competition warmly welcomes youth from all backgrounds and nationalities, featuring a special inclusivity award for developing countries.
Pure originality is encouraged, but generative AI-assisted creation is also permitted (full disclosure required).
Key Dates:
