This
is the 9th international competition attracting teams from Russia, the USA, Greece
and the United Kingdom. The Russian Space Exploration Program is truly an
exciting opportunity to expose our youth to put their brains against the
brightest, highly motivated young Scientists and Engineers but we need
sponsorship from a generous business to make it perfect. We hope that the
following page will provide enough information to spark your interest in
sponsoring this event. The purpose of the
Annual International Space Olympics is to stimulate students to develop their
critical and creative thinking skills and to increase their knowledge of
Space Exploration.
During the 10 day
competition students will: The competition will
be judged by leading Russian scientists. The students whose presentations are
chosen as winners will receive special prizes and will have their projects
published in science journals. Please, help
us go on this unique opportunity and make young people interested in
significant recent developments of the Space Exploration Program. The city of Korolev is
situated approximately 6 km north east of Moscow. Until recently, it was
known as Kalinigrad and for many years it has been the centre of the Russian
Space Industry. It has a population of 162,000 people and lying so close to
Moscow, shares much cultural activity with the capital. In 1998 the city was
renamed in honour of S. P. Korolev, an Engineer and father of the space
industry. One of the principal enterprises of the city is the Energiya Rocket
Space Corporation, who design and manufacture much of the hardware involved
in space exploration. Together with Mission Control Centre, the Foreign
Relations Department and Education Department of the city, they have for five
years hosted the International Space Olympics, a competition for 14 to 18
year old students. The competitors are predominantly from the Moscow Region
and abroad, and number around 150. The objective of the event is to raise the
profile of the Russian Space Industry, and the potential recruitment of
future staff from the competitors, most of whom represent the elite of our
educational system. The International Space Olympics will help to further
international links and may also motivate other students to embark upon study
and careers in Science & Engineering. This is a life-time opportunity for
students who will be seeing aspects of Russia's efforts to get into space. You are invited to become
a part of this exciting program. We extend our sincere thanks for your
consideration. If your
business would be interested in sponsoring the Space Olympics project,
