At the event held on June 8-10, 2018 in Stephenville, Texas, USA, mini satellites designed and produced by the competitors were launched by rockets, and after released at a certain altitude they shared the data they acquired from the environment with the ground station while autonomously returning to the earth's surface. The event was sponsored by U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, NASA, Tarleton State University, American Astronautical Society (AAS), Siemens, Praxis, Kratos and Lockheed Martin.
