From 11 to 15 November, over 100 university and tertiary education students representing 15 teams have travelled to the Netherlands for an intense week of lectures and workshops from ESA experts. The knowledge they gained is going to be fundamental in updating and refining their mission designs - an essential step in remaining competitive and increasing their chances of being selected for the second cycle of the Fly Your Satellite! Design Booster programme. Read More »

SILOE is a team of 5 students from ISAE SUPAERO (Toulouse, France). The team aims to study the properties of the material found on the surface of planets and asteroids. The results of their experiment, which will be executed in the last quarter of 2024 at the Drop Towers facility, could help reduce the risks of space missions involving for instance landing and roving on the Moon and collecting surface samples.

The Polish students from Team M.A.C.K.I. and the students from Team NeurO2flight, comprising participants from Austria, Germany, and the United Kingdom, successfully completed their experiments in microgravity during the 85^th ESA parabolic flight campaign onboard Novespace’s Airbus A310 AirZeroG flying out of Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport in November 2024. Team M.A.C.K.I. evaluated the efficacy of an active entanglement gripper for the capture of objects in microgravity, while Team NeurO2flight investigated the combined impact of microgravity and hypoxia on cerebral blood flow, oxygenation and electrocortical activity to compare it to cognitive performance.
