- Status: Closed
- Prize: $200

Contest Brief
“Visions and Voyages for Planetary Science in the Decade 2013 – 2022”, the current Planetary Science Decadal Survey, identifies key questions facing planetary science and outlining plans for space and ground based exploration ten years into the future. Recent studies have shown that progress can be made on over 20% of the key questions called out in the current Planetary Science Decadal Survey by a high-altitude balloon-borne observatory. Planetary science from stratospheric balloons is a new area of scientific planetary exploration recently made possible by technology advancements, such as high precision pointing control, and driven by the need for low cost missions to fit within budget profiles.
The Gondola for High Altitude Planetary Science (GHAPS) project is an effort to design, build and fly a balloon-borne platform as a new alternative and complementary asset to ground and spaced based observatories for planetary science missions. The platform will offer a robust and reusable, balloon-based observatory to achieve the greatest possible science return in a low-risk and cost-effective manner with a goal of providing repeated and rapid turnaround.
The goal of this challenge is to develop a project logo. The logo will used in multiple ways in the project. It will be part of the all presentation materials developed by the project as a logo at the in the top corner. It will be used as a logo on team items (shirts, mugs, etc.). It may also be used in materials developed for education and public outreach. Examples of NASA mission/project logos/patches, can be found in abundance on the internet.
