ESA’s Education Office is developing an innovative new multi-week training opportunity: the ESA Academy’s CubeSat Summer School 2022 .This Summer School is designed for university students with engineering and physics backgrounds who are highly motivated to participate in a CubeSat project or pursue a career in the space sector, but currently lack knowledge or experience within this area.

The Summer School will run for four weeks from 8 August to 2 September 2022 at ESEC-Galaxia (Transinne, Belgium).

During the Summer School, ESA and external experts will deliver an extensive mix of lectures and hands-on activities. The entire project lifecycle of a satellite mission will be covered, from design to verification, launch and operations, including typical milestone reviews and new methodologies. Students will be introduced to project management best practices, legal, cybersecurity, and economic aspects of space projects. The Summer School will even introduce space entrepreneurship skills, offering support in devising methods of turning a CubeSat into a viable and profitable business opportunity!

Upon completing the CubeSat Summer School 2022, participating students will have gained the multidisciplinary knowledge and skills needed to undertake CubeSat or other space-related projects, be confident with engineering and project management standards, and be better prepared to join the European space sector.

Dates: 8 August – 2 September 2022
Open to: Bachelor, Master or PhD students studying an engineering subject or physics (with basic knowledge in space technology)
Deadline to apply: 23:59 CET, 21st March 2022.
