Engineering i s more than math and science and we hope this contest will give you an und erstanding of the practice of professional Engineering.\n\nSummary of this year's competition: The United States-led Lunar Gateway\, a space station in lunar orbit\, will be the next major international collaboration in hu man space exploration. It is an important part of an ambitious plan by NAS A and the International Space Station (ISS) partners\, including Canada\, to send humans deeper into space than we have ever been. About one-sixth o f the size of the ISS\, this new outpost will be developed\, serviced\, an d utilised in collaboration with international and commercial partners. (C anada is contributing a smart robotic system\, Canadarm3\, to the Gateway. )\n\nThe area of space around the Moon can help us prepare for human missi ons to more distant destinations like Mars. Building a space station aroun d the Moon allows for: 1. A deeper understanding of the possible health ef fects of cosmic radiation and solar storms on astronauts living and workin g outside of Earth's protective magnetic field\; 2. Access to the lunar su rface to conduct cutting-edge science\; 3. A unique setting for technology demonstrations\; 4. Observations of the stars\, our Sun\, and our planet\ ; 5. An easier return to Earth.\n\nThe Gateway will be: 1. a science labor atory\; 2. a testbed for new technologies\; 3. a rendezvous location for e xploration of the surface of the Moon\;\n4. a mission control centre for o perations on the Moon\; and 5. one day\, a stepping stone for voyages to M ars.\n\nWhen fully assembled\, the Gateway will include modules for scient ific research and living quarters for crews of four astronauts. They will be able to live and work on the Gateway for up to three months at a time\, occasionally travelling to the lunar surface to conduct science and test new technologies. Eventually\, these missions could last longer in order t o prepare for the deeper-space missions of the future.\n\nThe objective of this competition is to desing the modules and manufacture them in a reduc ed scale for teh competition day. Supporting documents should be provided during the competition date for judging purposes.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Prof essional Engineering Ontario (PEO)\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr John Moores\, \n\nBld g: Bergeron Centre\, 11 Arboretum Ln\, North York\, Ontario\, Canada\, M3J 2S5 LOCATION:Bldg: Bergeron Centre\, 11 Arboretum Ln\, North York\, Ontario\, C anada\, M3J 2S5 ORGANIZER:kyarash.shahriari@ieee.org SEQUENCE:8 SUMMARY:Engineering Idol 2023 - Lunar Gateway URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/349708 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong><span style="color: #e03e2d\;">Dat e updated to Arpil 1st\, 2023 because of the snow storm and inaccessibilit y of the venue on March 4th.&nbsp\;</span></strong></p>\n<p>-------------- -------------------------</p>\n<p>Welcome to Engineering Idol 2023 Competi tion!
