First things first: Condor is way better than Kepler or whatever other team πŸ’”

ROSDC 2026 (Romanian Space Design Competition) was a wonderful experience! Held as an industry-style aerospace engineering and space settlement design simulation, the competition brings high school students together into fictional aerospace companies β€” such as Condor β€” to respond to a complex Request for Proposal (RFP) for future space habitats and orbital infrastructure.

I worked on the Operations side of the project, focusing on how the settlement and systems actually function, scale, and sustain daily life and logistics in space.

Beyond the engineering challenge itself, the best part of ROSDC 2026 was meeting so many creative people with truly awesome ideas and collaborating under pressure to turn ambitious concepts into a cohesive design pitch.
