Papers from the finalists of the 2nd Mission Idea Contest has been published from IAA Book Series. This book contains 18 papers with innovative ideas.

The 1st Mission Idea Contest was held in 2011 in Japan, and it has been held yearly or biyearly since then. The latest one was the 4th Mission Idea Contest was held in October 2016.

This book was used in Mission Idea Contest Workshop (Pre 3rd MIC) held on 23 Nov, 2013 as a supplementary textbook.
