Program Launches Cycle 03"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

The European Space Agency (ESA) Education Office, in partnership with And\u00f8ya Space Education\u00a0and the Norwegian Space Agency, is announced a new cycle for the Fly a Rocket program. The call for applications is open until the\u00a09th of October 2022 23:59 CEST.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to ESA, this program offers a unique opportunity for bachelor’s students to learn about the physics, engineering, and operations behind a rocket launch. It combines theoretical course work carried out online with a hands-on launch campaign of a sounding rocket from the And\u00f8ya Space launch site in northern Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The selected candidates will take part in an\u00a0online course<\/a> from November 2022 to February 2023, where they have the opportunity to learn the necessary theoretical background for the rocket campaign \u2013 both from an engineering and scientific perspective. Topics covered include among others rocket dynamics, atmospheric and aurora physics, soldering, and telemetry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a week filled with additional training and hands-on work, the participants are split into teams and have the chance to work on the And\u00f8ya Space Education\u00a0telemetry station, the rocket\u2019s payload section, or several sensor experiments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They build, test, and finally launch their own sounding rocket. During the campaign, students work in close collaboration with experts from And\u00f8ya Space and ESA and take over typical tasks of personnel involved in sounding rocket launch campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ESA said that this unique opportunity is aimed at bachelor-level students early in their studies and will give them an introduction to space science and technology, with an aim to \u2018fill the gap\u2019 between Secondary school activities, such as\u00a0CANSats<\/a>,\u00a0and more advanced space-education programs such as\u00a0REXUS\/BEXUS<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participation in this program will elevate participants\u2019 understanding and appreciation for the space industry and encourage them to pursue further opportunities within their studies or careers related to space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While an understanding of some higher-level mathematics is required, candidates from any background are encouraged to apply. However, they should demonstrate a strong interest in the space industry, space science, or technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to ESA, successful applicants will have the costs for travel (up to a ceiling), accommodation, and participation in the campaign covered by the organizers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch campaign<\/a> is planned to take place around March 2023. The students will travel to And\u00f8ya Space, north of the Arctic Circle, where they will put their knowledge into action. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
