We sat down with the winners of the Shad Canada 2020 Design Challenge! The program devised a novel challenge for their 2020 cohort: to design a research project, completely virtually in the era of COVID-19, for suborbital flight that leverages space and microgravity in a meaningful and creative way with impacts for science and humanity. A judging panel of Shad representatives and industry experts evaluated 62 final projects based on their impact, scientific merit, technical feasibility and project plan, and the final team, Mous4Inc., was selected as the winner. Listen on to hear about their investigation of the structural formation of polyurethane foam in microgravity and potential terrestrial applications.
