Description:

Zero Robotics / middle school program  is a 4to5-week summer highly competitive programming competition in which middle school students program a squadron of miniature satellites inside the International Space Station. Students write program to navigate the Astrobee satellites to solve a specific challenge by controlling the speed, orientation based on the calculated distance and directions. 

What do students do in the competition meetings: 

• Work in a team.
• Programming satellites - control the speed, direction, and rotation of the Astrobee®  satellites to solve a specific challenge. 
• Learn from astronauts and industry professionals about how they can become involved in the space industry as students and as the future workforce.
• Strategy development in the realm of Space Engineering.
• Team face off in the semi-finals to test their algorithms. 
• Compete nationally in a tournament where Astrobee simulators complete a mission developed based on NASA’s current research.
• If advanced to the Final (in August), teams’ code will run on the actual satellite on ISS.
• For teams that make it through the virtual simulations to the ISS FINAL will compete in a live tournament where astronauts load student-developed code onto the satellites onboard the ISS. Astronauts then serve as referees in the FINAL, and everything is streamed in real time to student viewers on Earth.

Software:

• C programming language
• Use online IDE provided thru MIT.

Hardware:

• A computer with stable internet connection.
