Over 1,200 teams from across the world competed in last weekend’s 2020 Space Security Challenge, Hack-A-Sat, qualifier event sponsored by the US Air Force.

The top 8 teams advance to the final stages of Hack-A-Sat where teams receive a flat-sat and solve challenges that unlock an actual orbiting satellite to target.  The PLEX Team, 15FittyTree, placed 8^th in the qualifier event and will be competing in the final event August 7-9.  More information about the Hack-A-Sat contest can be found here: https://www.hackasat.com/
