** University of C\u00e1diz (UCA) student team developing the UCAnFly cubesat<\/a> to test space-based gravitational wave detection<\/strong> technologies.<\/p>\n

UCAnFly is an educational nanosatellite to test emerging technologies for space-based gravitational wave detectors, such as\u00a0LISA<\/a>.\u00a0The main motivation is to complement academic education at the University of C\u00e1diz (UCA) and transfer knowledge to students in the field of advanced instrumentation and data analysis for Space Sciences.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The emerging line of research that the UCAnFly project has recently started to conduct at UCA requires engaging and training young researchers with the purpose of creating a group specialized in high precision measurement systems for space missions. This project will open a unique opportunity of novel and valuable experience for the students involved.<\/em><\/p>\n

UCAnFly is led by a multidisciplinary team at the University of C\u00e1diz, with the support of the Education Office of the European Space Agency, under the educational\u00a0Fly Your Satellite!<\/a>\u00a0programme.<\/em><\/p>\n

…The UCAnFly project involves the introduction of a new line of research at the University of C\u00e1diz, which requires engaging and training young researchers with the aim of creating a group specialized in high precision measurement systems for space missions. For this reason, in addition to the mission objectives, one of the main motivations of the project is to complement academic education and transfer knowledge in the field of advanced instrumentation and data analysis for space applications to undergraduate and doctoral students…<\/em><\/p>\n
