Ground Station Competition - Contact 2020
WCRC organizes this competition as an inter-competition during the pandemic and is associated with the regular World CanSat/Rocketry Championship. You don’t have to be an antenna expert to be a winner. Just send us your best design and collected data, and we’ll evaluate it according to the competition rules. Even if you don't become a winner, you will become part of the Intercontinental Aerospace Command (ICAS Command). We can accept only one entry per person or per team (of a maximum of 3 persons), so choose your category wisely. Don’t wait too long, though. The deadline for application for participation in the competition is August 10, 2020! The competition lasts 3 months (until October 31) and participation is FREE!
