The SSDW provides an opportunity for the multidisciplinary conceptual design of spacestations and other space infrastructures, in particular with interest towards human exploration of the Earth-Moon-Mars space.
The workshop is intended to introduce students to conceptual design in a multinational, interactive,team-centred environment. Two teams will compete against each other on a specific mission brief that will be released at the beginning of the workshop.
The goal of the workshop is for students to do realistic work in space engineering, while also addressing other aspects related to space projects, such as architecture, economics and space law, as well as project and team management. Students will use advanced design methodologies and software tools to achieve this goal.
Students will receive guidance from IRS experts, and will also have the opportunity to speak with ESA experts on location.
When? Where?
The workshop will take place from 13 to 18 July2008 at ESA’s space research and technology centre, ESTEC, in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
Who can participate?
Participation is open to university students (up to Masters level or equivalent) from ESA Member States. Addressed are particularly students at the end of their studies in engineering(aerospace, mechanical, electrical, etc.) but also students of other disciplines that are relevant for the conception and design of space stations and exploration missions. Applicants must be proficient in English, show an interest in human spaceflight and exploration, and have the ability to work and communicate in an international team environment.
Your application form, professor endorsement and CV must be submitted by no later than 23 May 2008
