A team of Grade 12 students from Central Peel Secondary School in Brampton, Canada, has won the grand prize in the 2026 Gerard K. O’Neill Space Settlement Contest. The team included several students of Indian origin and defeated more than 23,000 students from 31 countries.
Their project, titled Saoirse, proposed a self-sustaining space settlement for 10,000 residents at the Mars-Sun L2 Lagrange point, a stable region in space. Organised by the US-based National Space Society (NSS), the competition is considered one of the world’s most respected student aerospace contests. The victory also marked the first time a Canadian team won the competition’s top award.
