Student Team Sevastopol State University became the winner of the competition "Space Cup: The Moon Mission", organized by the scientific and technical guild "Frontiers of Science". The participants developed web-based solutions for planning the construction of a base on a natural satellite of the Earth.

The event was supported by the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.

The competition was aimed at creating tools for the development of a base in the area of the South Pole of the Moon, an area attractive because of the deposits of water ice.
