This paper describes the space related human resources development project conducted by KOSENs in 2020. Satellite development is effective for practical education in KOSENs. As such, KOSEN Space Collaboration Group have held bootcamp style education programs for KOSEN students since 2015 and online lectures on space science and technology since 2018. Herein, we have proposed a new contest called the All KOSEN Space Contest to cultivate satellite mission planning skills. To evaluate the efficiency of this proposed contest, we conducted a pre-contest in 2020 and researched the educational benefits of this pre-contest. From the results, we were able to extract useful insights to guide the planning of the main contests with potential to bridge the gap between our previous educational programs and actual satellite development. Consequently, the result of this study indicates that the satellite development skills of KOSEN students can be further improved.
