!! Update of the COMET-SCA members list !!
The listing will be updated in June 2026: members who have not logged into their account on the COMET website since January 1, 2026, will have their COMET-SCA membership revoked.
At the end of June 2026, a review of active/inactive accounts will be conducted, and the list will be updated: a notification will be sent to members whose COMET-SCA accounts will be deactivated.
"The Last Click” is a community-wide Guidance, Navigation & Control GNC competition organised by ESA, NASA, DLR, ASI, CNES, ONERA, and ISAE-SUPAERO, inviting the global GNC community to tackle a realistic spacecraft attitude control benchmark.
Many teams have already joined the Benchmark competition!
To encourage even more participation, we have decided to remove the penalty on the final score. This change gives additional teams the chance to join, especially those who may have hesitated due to the initially short timeframe.
For teams that have already registered, a bonus will be provided in the form of a tie-breaker advantage in case of equal scores.
Team subscription and solutions can be submitted on the portal website: https://atpi.eventsair.com/gncicatt/the-last-click-competition
Join us in pushing the limits of spacecraft control, and help shape the future of GNC. We look forward to seeing your innovative solutions!
In the year 2370, humanity’s most ambitious observatory drifted in the quiet dark far beyond Pluto’s frozen orbit.
It was called NERINA, a space telescope unlike any before it—its mirror petals made of self-healing crystal alloy, its sensors grown from bio-engineered photonic cells that could “taste” starlight as much as see it.
NERINA had one mission: to take the first clear image of the galaxy NGC-9214, a faint spiral so distant that even its brightest stars arrived at Earth as little more than whispers of light.
For decades, scientists suspected that a rare class of bio-luminescent exoplanets might orbit within it.
If true, the faint spectral signatures could hint at thriving alien ecosystems.
But catastrophe has cut the mission short, and the clock is unforgiving.
This is the last chance to search for life beyond Earth!
