A Sampathkumar, district governor of Rotary Club of Madras, handed over the award to Subham Joshi, team leader of the 10-member squad. During the ISSDC competition held at Johnson Space Centre in Houston, USA, the boys had designed proposal to ensure second settlement on Mars in 2071.

Naming the team as ‘terrific 10’, Sampathkumar congratulated them for winning the global competition organised by National Space Society and American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics.
