🌍🚀 ESA CubeSat Summer School – Une aventure enrichissante et formatrice pour les étudiants européens et canadiens, passionnés par l'espace ! Durant cette expérience unique, les étudiants ont exploré les technologies spatiales de pointe, collaboré sur des projets concrets et échangé avec des spécialistes de l'industrie. Que vous recherchiez des défis techniques stimulants ou une immersion dans l'univers fascinant du spatial, cette expérience est une opportunité exceptionnelle ! ✨ Osez repousser vos limites, développez vos compétences pour façonner l’avenir de l’aérospatiale, comme Romain BOUXIROT d'AeroJeune ! #space #ESA #education
Exciting Summer School announcement: European Space Agency - ESA CubeSat Summer School 🚀 Last August, I had the honour of participating in the ESA CubeSat Summer School, where I immersed myself in a CubeSat (nanosatellite) mission through a mix of online lectures and hands-on group work. Coming from a physics background, it was a big jump into the unknown, yet I took it as a learning opportunity. Although quite challenging, this experience was most definitely enriching! ✨ With my team, we developed the 3U CubeSat EFESTO (Educational Fire Emergency Surveillance and Tracking Orbiter) constellation meant to detect and monitor wildfires in Greece in real-time. As the payload expert, I was in charge with finding a suitable camera, balancing mission requirements with satellite constraints. It was a rewarding experience stepping outside my comfort zone and into aerospace engineering and I am proud of the work we accomplished together. Finally, in the last days I had the opportunity to attend the in-person networking and graduation day at the ESA Academy, in Belgium. I am infinitely grateful to have worked along with such great members: Abigail Ketner, Celia Redondo Verdú, Diamantis Chatziargyriou, Evgenios Stefanidis, Lorenzo Nardi, Luis Fernández Bueno, Luca Niero, Mateusz Drwal, Mateusz Kłosiński, Paolo Roncoroni, Paulina Draugelytė, Réka Szabó, Romain BOUXIROT, and Sewit Meles Neguse. We faced every challenge with a lot of creativity and resilience! Additionnally, I would like to warmly thank our trainers Alessandra Marzolini, Matteo Romano, and Eleftherios Karagiannis who were always present to help or guide us to the right experts. I am certain that I will use these new skills in my physics career! 👩🚀
