Welcome to the fourth Asian Regional Space Settlement Design Competition and the semi-finals of the Fifteenth International Space Settlement Design Competition (ISSDC)!
This event is an industry simulation for teams of High School students, set in the future. The competition is organized with the main motive of teaching industrial skills to students.

IMPORTANT!!
The competition has been re-structured to allow participation of individual students as well.

A key attribute of Space Settlement Design Competition scenarios is that the first settlement is built very quickly--in about a dozen years.

The real reason for this is that the Competition organizers want to offer a chronology of widely varying scenarios that participating students could see during their working careers.  It would be less interesting for students to work on a space settlement design planned to operate a half-century after they expect to retire.
