Here’s an update on the European Student Earth Orbiter (ESEO)<\/a> project, which currently involves 9 European\u00a0 universities : ESA\u2019s student satellite takes important step towards space –\u00a0 Education\/ESA<\/a><\/p>\n

The mission\u2019s primary goal is to provide students with extensive, hands-on experience of a space project. This will equip them with the necessary skills to confidently enter the high-technology workplace of Europe\u2019s future.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The university collaboration is now working with ALMASpace S.r.l.<\/a>, an Italian company that is a spinoff of satellite group at the University of Bologna.<\/p>\n

The mission\u2019s main objectives are to measure the ionizing radiation environment in orbit, to test technologies for future education satellite missions and to take images of the Earth and\/or other celestial bodies for outreach purposes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The universities are providing several of the subsystems such as a microcamera from DTU in Denmark and a radiation detector from the University of Budapest.<\/p>\n

The satellite will be around 40kg in mass and measure about 33x33x63cm . It will be launched in 2015-16 and its mission is designed to last for at least six months.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"ESEO<\/a><\/div>\n

The project is a continuation of an ESA student satellite program:<\/p>\n

ESEO is the third mission within ESA\u2019s Education Satellite Programme. It builds upon the experience gained with SSETI Express, launched in 2005, and the YES2 tether and re-entry capsule experiment, launched in 2007.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
