¡Hola! Actualmente estoy haciendo una ingeniería informática. El año que viene me tocan prácticas y trabajar en el sector espacial es algo que he querido desde pequeña. Me encantaría sobretodo, trabajar en la ESA. Para ello me gustaría empezar haciendo las prácticas allí, pero no estoy muy segura si se necesita Master, o con una Ingeniería basta para aplicar. Si alguien lo sabe, agradecería bastante su respuesta.

Muchas gracias vuestro tiempo, ¡espero que hayáis tenido un gran verano y que lo que quede de año sea genial también!

For those who were selected for the workshop, I took the liberty of creating a WhatsApp group for us, feel free to join and make friends! :)

Hi, so I applied to the 2024 YGT programme, got to first stage interviews for one of the positions but then was unsuccessful. I wonder if anyone has previously been unsuccessful and then reapplied the next year and got a position? I think I read something, somewhere like ‘if your skills/knowledge have improved then sure apply again’, just wanted to see if anyone had success doing this!

Cheers! :)

European Space Agency im Umkreis München?

Kennt jemand Kotrollzentren, Institutionen etc. von ESA im Umkreis München, die auch Praktika anbieten? Ich möchte mich so gut es geht über ein Praktikum bei der Agentur informieren, also wäre es sehr freundlich, wenn sich jemand bei mir melden und mir evtl. auch über das Praktikum u. a. die Arbeit oder Ausbildung berichten könnte.

LG und schonmal vielen Dank im Vorraus. 🚀

Hi all!

I recently applied to ESA Academy's Ladybird Guide to Spacecraft Operations training course and was wondering if anyone else here has applied as well? I haven't received any updates on my application yet, but if someone has already gotten a confirmation, it would be great to hear about it! :) My DMs are also open if anyone wants to chat more about building a career in space technology or space in general.

Hello community!

I've been working on understanding ways to orthorectify an image by computing it's RPCs using polynomial functions.

Post having the RPCs computed, I've simply used a gdal transformer using rpc tags and a DSM to get an output which looks something like what I've attached below.

I'm trying to understand what are sure shot logical ways to restrict the ghosting/duplication that is happening and get a desirable output in such a scenarios? Can self marked GCPs and correspondingly computed RPCs result in a clean orthorectification? Or is a dependence on sensor parameters - rigorous model a mandate in achieving a true-orthophoto/near true-orthophoto?

Being someone who is just starting to walk this career path, I kindly seek advice/suggestions and pointers from the community to help me gain deeper insights and learn about the possibilities, dependencies and challenges here such that I'm able to progress in the right direction.

Many thanks, appreciate and value your support with this!

There might be an opportunity available, but after checking Redu and seeing that it's a very small village without many things to do, I'm wondering what quality of life could a young person have there. I know it might sound selfish as getting an opportunity at ESA is many peoples dream (me included) but after working for another great aerospace company in another small village, I know that having a life in these conditions can be tricky. Of course this whole thing is very subjective so I'm asking people's opinions. Do you think the sacrifice is worth it for such an awesome organization, and has anyone here actually worked in Redu? If so, how are the working conditions, is there a young people community within the company so at least there is some socialization potential? Does it get too depressing at winter when I'm assuming it's cold and dark? Is everyday life interesting?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for the Head of Council and Subordinate Bodies Support Section but cannot find this person on the ESA website (nor on LinkedIn).
Anyone know about him/her?
Many thanks for your help!

Good day, is there anyone in here that’s part or knows a European or specifically French aerospace company looking for talent? I’m French, UK educated, 3 years of experience, currently based in Canada willing to relocate
