Meet the cadets
Scientists, dreamers and future quantum engineers, each one carrying her island’s flag to Delhi.
FUND THE MISSION
Every dollar
has a destination
Every dollar raised is credited to a Mas Camp, never to a person, and directly funds the local educational infrastructure in the Caribbean. It buys airfare, board, insurance, mentorship and lab access for the delegation as a whole, so every place secured is a place the camps can fill. The delegation is cadets, Territory Ambassadors and mission advisors travelling together, and the fund is pooled, not divided. Pick your Mas Camp first; the money is credited to the camp and your name lands on its standings the same day.

ABOUT THE MISSION
A permanent pipeline,
from islands to orbit
We are establishing a permanent pipeline to upskill our region for aerospace and space-tech careers through local hackathons, hands-on engineering, quantum literacy and CanSat training. A CanSat is a miniature training satellite built inside a soda can-sized casing, allowing students to master the exact mechanics of satellite engineering right from their own classrooms.
But what does this look like on a global stage? As the flagship moment of this movement, a select cohort of student scientists is traveling to Gautam Buddha University in Greater Noida, about ninety minutes from Delhi airport, where the mission lab is based. When they land, they are going straight to work. They will suit up in a hyper-sterile aerospace cleanroom to help assemble and test a live 1U-class lunar science payload.
This payload is a specialized instrument that will be mounted directly to a lunar lander. Its mission is to measure how the spacecraft’s engine interacts with the Moon’s surface dust, known as regolith. By building these exact components, our cadets are mastering real world CubeSat technology and securing the Caribbean’s place in the global space economy.

MISSION HOST · AUGUST 2026
Gautam Buddha University
Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India
Roughly ninety minutes from Delhi airport. The cleanroom, the lab and the integration work all happen on this campus, 23 to 31 August 2026.
FLIGHT-GRADE SPECIFICATION
The flight satellite is manufactured in aerospace-grade aluminium 6061, accommodating solar panels, cameras, communication systems, mission sensors and antennas. Every confirmed sponsor is permanently recognised on the official Sponsor Recognition Base Plate.
TERRITORY AMBASSADORS
Who oversees each country
Every Mas Camp has a named Territory Ambassador. She leads her nation’s programme, selection and mentoring now, and the school clubs and space agenda that continue long after this mission.
