All rights reserved. 3 Background (1) • Mission Idea Contest was launched in 2010 to encourage innovative exploitation of micro/nano-satellites to provide useful capabilities, services. • It provides aerospace engineers, college students, consultants, and anybody interested in space with opportunities to present their creative ideas and gain international attention. MIC2 final presentation, Oct. 10, 2012, Nagoya, Japan

The satellite developers or engineers will aid them in translating these ideas into engineered satellite missions. • To increase the probability of realization of the mission by facilitating international collaborations between users and engineers. Pre-MIC3 workshop will provide an opportunity for international experts and potential applicants to exchange opinions and advice to facilitate the match-making process.
