| Training (internship) 140 h
This lecture is foreseen for students of the Master in Space Science but also in Aerospace Engineering. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| In the framework of the space science master, we propose to students to participate to a project linked to a space mission or to the design of an instrument or application.
This course is a practical complement to courses SPAT0035-1, SPAT0032-1, AERO0018-3, SPAT0037-1, et SPAT0016-1.
The student will be part of a research team and will encounter the unavoidable challenges of a space mission, at the preparation stage or during the exploitation phase. He/She will actively participate to the analysis, modelling or testing tasks necessary to solve these problems.
The training can take place in Belgium or outside the country, in a research institute, a space agency, an observatory or a private company. It can be linked to missions or instruments dedicated to Earth observation, Solar system exploration, stellar or extragalactic studies. A few examples in Belgium are AMOS, Spacebel, KeyObs, (3 cases near Liège), Royal Observatory Belgium (Bruxelles), Royal Military School (Bruxelles), Musée d'Afrique Centrale (Bruxelles), Walphot (Namur), VITO (Mol) Eurosense (Wemmel), IMEC (Leuven), OIP (Audenarde), Verhaert (Anvers), ... Possibilities abroad include Observatoire de Haute-Provence (France), ISDC (Switzerland), SRON (Netherlands), as well as prestigious institutions such as ESO (Chili, Germany) or ESA (ESTEC in Netherlands, ESAC in Spain, ESOC in Germany, ESRIN in Italy).Trainings at ESTEC a few years ago have received a lot of success.
A weekly contact will be made with the student and the host partner during the training.
In case of a long stay (3 to 6 months), the thesis can be done at the same place with a local co-promoter. However, the training subject and the thesis subjects must differ. |

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| A one-month training will be organized in an institute developing a space project. This training will takeplace in Belgium or in other countries.
It is recommended to register the soonest in order to select a subject with the professor and to take contacts with the hosting institute. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The student must write a detailed report (min 25p) which will constitute 25% of the grade and orally present his/her work during an oral presentation (20min, 25% of the points). The final grade will also take into account the evaluation of the hosting team (1/2 of the points). |

Organizational remarks :
|
| We recommend to contact the teachers as soon as possible to ensure a good organization (choice of the subject, contact with the host, grants for long stays). Spring of the academic year before that during which training will take place is best. |
