by

Seven secondary school science students from Dublin and Clare have soared to success by beating thousands of global competitors to win a space design competition founded by Nasa.

The girls and boys from St Dominic’s College in Cabra and St Flannan’s College in Ennis won first place in the senior section of America’s National Space Society space settlement contest.

The competition attracted some 26,000 competitors worldwide.

The team designed an innovative orbital habitat, with capacity to support more than 10,000 people, which would also serve as a hub for exploring the moon and solar system.
