INCREDIBILE OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE YOUR NETWORK, KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS

ESA’s TEC Directorate regularly organises events covering a diverse range of the topics related to space technology.
These events are targeted at specific audiences or can be completely open to anyone interested. They can be hosted in physical locations or held online, and can also feature exhibitors and side events.
Regardless, all of them provide great opportunities to network with Europe’s spaceflight community and to learn from experienced professionals.
If you are a university student, you may find dedicated training opportunities offered by our ESA Education Academy <a href="https://www.esa.int/Education/ESA_Academy/Current_opportunities_for_university_students" target="_blank">here</a>&nbsp;

Events&Workshops

The conference is a good opportunity to meet with international experts in the field of software product assurance, quality and engineering. An exciting forum for the presentation and discussion of the most recent advances in the software product assurance field.
The workshop will cover presentations related to software solutions, cyber-security, model-based software engineering and assurance, agile, software process assessment, among others.

4th edition of the bi-annual Software Product Assurance Conference

As part of the ESA Green Agenda and the Clean Space Office, we must drive the design of space products and services towards minimizing the environmental impacts throughout their entire life cycle.
This workshop will explore the key scientific, engineering, and environmental issues related to spacecraft launch and re-entry, including:
<ul>
<li>Field measurement campaigns – reviewing existing field study findings and exploring future initiatives to detect and analyse aerosols containing launcher and spacecraft-derived particles.</li>
<li>Chemistry of launch and re-entry emissions – investigating how spaceflight compounds such as nitrous oxide, metal oxides, black carbon, and ablated materials interact with the gases and aerosols already present in the ‘background’ stratosphere and mesosphere, including their potential to catalyse ozone depletion and alter cloud formation.</li>
<li>Advancements in modelling and laboratory simulations – assessing how experimental and computational approaches can improve predictions of atmospheric impacts.</li>
<li>Methodologies for integrating atmospheric impacts into life cycle assessments – Evaluating how launchers and spacecraft can be designed to minimize environmental impact.</li>
<li>Cross-disciplinary collaboration – bringing together experts in atmospheric science, the space sector, and policy to identify research gaps and explore strategies for regulation.</li>
</ul>

The workshop is intended to unite key stakeholders of the European Access to Space sector and to discuss the following topics:
<ul>
<li>Propulsion and Fluid Mechanics technologies applicable to Launch Sites, and associated testing infrastructure.</li>
<li>Propulsion, Fluid Mechanics, and aerothermodynamics technologies applicable to space transportation vehicles sector</li>
<li>Increasing Competitiveness of Propulsion, Fluid Mechanics and aerothermodynamics Technologies suppliers</li>
</ul>

2nd Workshop on Chemical Propulsion, Fluid Mechanics, and Aerothermodynamics Technologies for Space transportation Systems
