This competition is designed to provide the opportunity to experience a hands-
on space program at an affordable cost. The competition involves writing a
mission proposal, generating design documentation, design reviews,
presentation and launching the SiswaSAT to an altitude of 200m using a drone.
The most important aspect of this competition is that each team will learn
