SGAC and its Near Earth Object Working Group are happy to announce the third annual Move an Asteroid technical paper competition!

While previous years’ competitions asked contestants how to move an asteroid, this edition of the competition challenges students and young professionals worldwide to come up with ideas for a global asteroid impact early warning system.

The winner will receive a fully paid trip to Prague, Czech Republic to present the findings at the Space Generation Congress and the International Astronautical Congress.  Flights, hotel, and conference registration will be covered.

Submissions are due 30 July, 2010 so don’t delay!
