COURSE: ESA Academy’s Ladybird Guide to Spacecraft Operations

Following the success of the ESA Academy’s Ladybird Guide to Spacecraft Operations training courses in the past two years, ESA’s Education Office is offering 30 university students the opportunity to participate again in this course and learn about the fascinating world of spacecraft operations. To bring this fascinating world of challenges and satisfaction to life for university students contemplating a career in the space sector, ESA is organising the Ladybird Guide to Spacecraft Operations training course, a technical course without excessive mathematics or technical jargon. This 4-day course will take place between 11 and 14 September 2018 at the ESA Academy’s Training and Learning Facility in ESEC-Galaxia, Transinne, Belgium.
