The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has opened registration for participation in the annual international Space Apps Challenge 2026. The two-day hackathon will take place on November 14 and 15, 2026, simultaneously in different locations around the world. During the event, participant teams work on creating solutions inspired by NASA's most ambitious goals in space exploration. Projects are developed using free and open data provided by the agency. Organizers emphasize that the event is open to people of all ages and skill levels — from schoolchildren and students to professional developers and researchers. Participation does not require specialized technical skills or experience with space technologies. Space Apps Challenge traditionally brings together thousands of participants from around the world, who form local teams to collaborate on tasks proposed by NASA. The event format involves intensive two-day work, during which teams must develop and present their solutions. Registration for hackathon participation is already available on NASA's official resources. Organizers expect high interest in the event, as has been the case in previous years of Space Apps Challenge.
