Biosovereignty Hackathon Pass


Participants will work with real astronaut omics datasets to produce a concise biological health report for a crew member. Teams will analyze genomic and molecular signals, identify potential risks, and translate their findings into clear recommendations suitable for mission planning.

Omics data challenge

Analysis of real astronaut datasets

Direct mentorship from domain experts

Public recognition and project support for the winning team


The Competition

In this competition, participants will work with this real-world spaceflight dataset.

Your challenge is to translate complex molecular data into actionable health insights for individual crew members.

Participants will analyze omics data and develop approaches to:

  • Identify biological signals that emerge during spaceflight

  • Assess potential health risks and resilience factors

  • Design metrics for monitoring astronaut health in orbit

  • Communicate results in a way that supports crew decision-making

The ultimate goal is to produce insights that could help future explorers prepare for, endure, and thrive during long-duration missions beyond Earth.

Compete Along One of Three Tracks

Track 1: Molecular Stability and Perturbation
Track 2: Individualized Risk Profile
Track 3: Communication and Visualization


Prize Structure

Will be announced soon.
