“Fly Your Satellite!” enables student teams to design, manufacture and fly a nanosatellite into space. The students can test the nanosatellite in space conditions, using specialized machinery inside an appropriately equipped facility (CubeSat Support Facility), with the ultimate goal to have it ready to be flown into space in a three-year timespan.
During that forthcoming period, the team members are to cooperate with well-versed ESA specialists that have worked at impactful ESA missions, while also participating in a variety of educational technical seminars to take place in both the Netherlands (ESTEC) and Belgium (ESEC-Galaxia)–situated facilities, to further ensure the success of this demanding endeavor.
