Mission Space Lab Mentor Guide

Stage 4 - Submission

The last stage is the submission process for Mission Space Lab, where you send us your team’s final program for evaluation and testing by our panel of specialists. Teams whose programs are awarded flight status will be invited to attend a special event with a European Space Agency human spaceflight expert. 

​​Please submit your teams’ programs by 22 February 2027, 12:00 CET.

This is when you will need the email that you received when you registered your team in stage 1. This has a unique link through which you can submit your team’s finished and tested program. 

Your team’s program should be saved as a file called main.py and added to a zip file along with any other files that your team’s solution uses. The submission form will only accept zip files.

The form also has a reminder of the requirements that your team’s program must meet. Take some time to review these before you hit the ‘Submit’ button. Every year, there are some teams that miss out on the opportunity to have their programs run in space because they have not met one of these criteria. 

Please refer to the Program Requirements Checklist in the Rulebook before submitting.
