University Students To Design And Launch Satellites With ESA Support
The European Space Agency (ESA) has selected four student teams to participate in the fourth edition of its Fly Your Satellite! programme. The teams, from universities in Canada, the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy, will design, build, and launch their own satellites with support from ESA. The selected missions include a CubeSat for amateur radio operators, an educational satellite for primary and secondary school children, and two PocketQube projects for radio frequency interference monitoring and technology testing. The programme is part of ESA’s efforts to promote space education and development among young people, as reported by an unknown source.
