Your real odds
No winner count or selection rate data is available, so competitiveness comes down entirely to the technical credibility of your payload concept against other specialized aerospace applicants.
This is a one-time submission tied to a specific design challenge, and the funder has not published how many awards it intends to make or how it weights applications against each other.
