ORIGIN · HANGZHOU NO.2 HIGH SCHOOL

From Hangzhou No.2,
toward the stars.

Butian’s journey begins here. We take our curiosity about space into each discussion, design and test.

SCROLL TO LIFT OFF

ACTUAL CAMPUS / HANGZHOU NO.2 HIGH SCHOOL

FLIGHT / ABOVE THE CLOUDS

A wider horizon.Sharper questions.

Curiosity leads us toward questions we can solve together.

FLIGHT / INTO ORBIT

Beyond the clouds.A new perspective.

The next step is turning imagination into a design we can test.

HANGZHOU NO.2 HIGH SCHOOL · QIUSHI INNOVATION ACADEMY

Build the futurebeyond Earth.

We are a student club at Hangzhou No.2 High School’s Qiushi Innovation Academy. Space-settlement design turns our interest in space into evidence-based engineering proposals.

SCROLL TO BEGIN THE JOURNEY
BUTIAN · WHERE WE BEGIN

FROM BRIEF TO PROPOSAL

First, understandthe challenge.

We begin with a competition brief: break down requirements, find evidence, design together, then respond with a proposal and an English defense.

SYSTEMS THINKING

Five disciplines.One shared city.

Organized like a virtual aerospace company, we connect management, structure, habitat, operations and infrastructure. Every decision has to work with the others.

CONCEPT VISUAL · NOT A PROJECT MODEL

Imagination needsto stand up to scrutiny.

Air, food, life-support cycles and low gravity become design conditions we can calculate, debate and test.

CONCEPT VISUAL · NOT A PROJECT RENDER
Butian teams at GFSSM 2026BACK ON EARTH

Behind every plan,a team.

In the 2026 24-hour challenge, our teams revised a shared proposal with students worldwide. Different strengths shaped one design.

FUTURE BRIEF / 2115

On Psyche,imagine a city.

The 2026 final placed its brief in 2115: design a city on Psyche to support space mining.

PASS IT FORWARD

Pass what we learnto the next crew.

Proposals and lessons enter our knowledge base. Outreach, Astronomy Week and paper-plane activities have brought more students close to engineering. If you are ready to research, build, collaborate and explain, join the next crew.
