Enter our competition and see your design go in to space
Imagine being in space, travelling so fast that you circle Planet Earth 15 times a day! Visualise what you could see, what you could do, just like our Faraday-1 spacecraft which will blast off into space this year atop an Electron Rocket.
Simply find out about our Faraday-1 spacecraft and its mission in space through the VLOGS and website, then design a mission patch. It can be any shape or size and you can paint, draw, sew, do a collage or design it on your computer… anything that fires your imagination and creative skills. Then simply email it or post it to us! All entries must be received by 28th July.
Our competition is open to all ages from anywhere around the globe
Are you an Artist? Scientist? Inventor? Do you like Engineering? Crafts? Being Creative? This could be the competition for you! You can enter your own individual space mission patch design or work on a mission patch as a team.
We have 4 entry categories: Under 4’s, primary school students, secondary school students and over 18’s. The overall competition winner will have their design flown on our spacecraft. Awesome!

Competition Flyer
In August 2019, the Xbox-sized Faraday-1 satellite will be rocketed into space. Then from 500 km above our planet, orbiting 15 times a day, the 7 experiments (or “payloads”) on-board will try out new technologies and services in space and to make different discoveries.
Activity Plan (for Teachers & Guardians)
There are a range of topics that can be studied around this competition which can be done individually or in groups.
Faraday Explained by Ella Yr 10
Faraday-1 is a small satellite that will be sent up 500km (higher than the International Space Station!) above our planet in August 2019.
Understanding Faraday by Ella Yr 10
The Faraday missions use cubesat (a type of mini satellite for space research) technology to launch a range of different payloads from different customers on one satellite.
