What is the ranking calculation methodology?
We use objective, representative and verifiable macro indicators to provide balanced comparisons between teams performances worldwide. Please let us know if you have any suggestions that might improve the algorithms. Together, we fly higher
Rockets
We consolidate each rocket result with the following algorithm:
Score = k * Target_Apogee * (1/Perc_Error -1)
Perc_Error= |(Target_Apogee - Real_Apogee)| / Target_Apogee
Where:
k = 4, for successful safe flight in the Space World Cup or the International Space Cooperation
k = 3, for successful safe flight in international level competition
k = 2, for successful safe flight in national level competition
k = 1, for successful safe flight in other scenarios
Cubesats/Cansats
We consolidate each small satellite result with the following algorithm:
Score = k * Apogee (m) * Total_Mass (kg)
Where:
k = 4, for successful safe flight in the Space World Cup or the International Space Cooperation
k = 3, for successful safe flight in international level competition
k = 2, for successful safe flight in national level competition
k = 1, for successful safe flight in other scenarios
Drones
We consolidate each drone result with the following algorithm:
Score = k* (Max_Speed (m/s) / Total_Mass (kg))*1000
Where:
k = 4, for successful safe flight in the Space World Cup or the International Space Cooperation
k = 3, for successful safe flight in international level competition
k = 2, for successful safe flight in national level competition
k = 1, for successful safe flight in other scenarios
Space Suits
We consolidate each space suit result with the following algorithm:
Score = k * Max_speed_wearing_pressurized_suit (m/s) / Suit_dry_mass (kg))
Where:
k = 4, for successful safe operation in the Space World Cup or the International Space Cooperation
k = 3, for successful safe operation in international level competition
k = 2, for successful safe operation in national level competition
k = 1, for successful safe operation in other scenarios
The ranking first edition will compare team performances across competitions and cooperations. Future editions may improve current indicators and include new ones to provide insight on team's overall performance across wider fields, such as impact in alumni employment chances, impact in scientific publications and project completion rate.
