Spacecraft Racing

Spacecraft racing is the competitive sport of racing two or more spacecraft. Spacecraft racing can take many forms, ranging from informal drag races between two pilots to highly organized, multi-part racing challenge events. A variety of racing leagues exist for the broadcasting and promotion of spacecraft racing. Some spacecraft manufacturers design bespoke racing spacecraft or variants of existing spacecraft to participate in racing challenges. Major racing events include the Murray Cup in the Ellis system and the Able Baker Challenge in the Baker system.
