Reattachable Ion Propulsion System
Donation protected
We are a team of twelfth-grade engineering students at High Tech High International in San Diego, CA.
We hope to enter our product, The Reattachable Ion Propulsion (R.I.P.) System, into the "Giant Leap to Mars" category of the 2014 Conrad Spirit of Innovation Challenge. We have spent several weeks researching alternative propulsion methods and believe that our product, the RIP System offers a solution.
If our product is selected to move onto the semi-finals, we will compete for the chance to patent our product! In addition, we have the chance to earn scholarship money, earn seed money for our product, work under the mentorship of a NASA employee, present our product at the Kennedy Space Center in Houston, Texas, shadow a NASA employee, among many other things!
We believe in our product because it is the first non-experimental spacecraft to use ion technology, and the RIP System is the only propulsion system that is reusable.
Please support us by helping us meet the entry fee of $85.
