Of the 36 applications received, 24 have been provisionally approved for participation in the competition. Actual participation depends on whether the jury is in possession of the necessary technical and legal documents and the flight authorization by March 15, 2011.
Applications have been received from companies and institutes, but also from private individuals and research facilities.
