The competition received over 8,000 entries worldwide before 16 finalists were declared. Malaysia is the only South-East Asian team competing against the likes of Germany, Japan, Israel and India.IDXA’s technology is unique as it looks into providing access to space, without much impact to size and turnaround time. The technology also has strong potential to improve telecommunications services, agricultural monitoring, healthcare research and Earth observations in space.Malaysia’s first step to the moon depends on YOU.
