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;

The workshop is organized by the Working Group “Radiation of High Temperature Gas” (RHTG) managed by ESA, through the ESA Technology Directorate. The local organization for this event is managed by Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (ISTP) CNR, Bari section and Department of Mechanics, Mathematics and Management, Polytechnic University of Bari (Italy).
The Workshop is devoted to promoting a dialogue on the state of the art and recent advances for simulation/modelling and experimental techniques of hypersonic radiating gas flows for the determination of radiative heat fluxes encountered during atmospheric entry. The workshop provides the opportunity to explore related areas of research to face the challenges of future space flight.
<ul>
<li>Non-equilibrium chemical kinetics</li>
<li>Hypersonic flows</li>
<li>Plasma radiative emission and absorption</li>
<li>Experimental facilities and experimental techniques</li>
<li>Experimental and numerical modelling improvements of radiative heat transfer: refinement, verification, validation and comparison for space object re-entry simulation tools</li>
<li>Test cases proposed for validation</li>
</ul>
