The deadline has passed (except for some), what internships did you guys apply to? I applied for the Product Mapping internship & Strategy Office.

Here’s an excel sheet for making an overview: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VkqRs-afGNrtSCnH0ruPDBuPo0Cd_ieqP_ehIfEnX1o/edit?gid=197303896#gid=197303896

i really want to become an astronaut and iam wondering if i do need to go to university or i can just do a degree apprenticeship

I have a idea to buy the second pi to send to the international space station to monitor the envirovmnent of my home so before to this I have few tasks to complete.

1. After buying the astropi kit in other day I'm going to configure and test connections with my current raspberry pi 4b 8gb (Which is based on Ubuntu server and have casa os installed)

2. I Need to buy a ultrasonic wind sensor that can establish connection between astropi and my raspberry pi while astropi will be aboard on international space station

3. If my project aligns with esa requirements then send to esa for astronaut who will test

This is a good idea for my project? Because I don't have a diy weather station kit for now.

Hello everyone! After my first experience with a technical interview for a contractor position at ESTEC (here's my post about it), I tried with another application, this time directly with ESA via their job post website. Luckily i got shortlisted for an interview, which I will have on December 10th, thus I'd like to ask you if any of you could tell me what to expect. I got told that "The interview panel will consist of the recruiting manager(s), a specialist from another ESA Directorate and a representative of the Human Resources Department", so I'm not exactly sure what it could be like. Also, since I didn't receive any communication about a pre-screening, could this be the final selection interview already (I think it might be, after looking at the recruitment process page on the ESA website but I'm not entirely sure)?

On a slightly different note, since I'm already daydreaming about being hired, I also wanted to ask you what is life like at ESAC, how's the site like and how difficult it is to find an accommodation not too far from it?

Thank you very much!

In the UK, the structure of degrees is generally a 3 year bachelors course and then a 1 year masters. Some people do a 4- year integrated masters combining the two.

I am a 3rd year undergrad student and will graduate in the summer this year, and then am starting a masters program in September. During the summer there is a gap where I won't be "registered with my university" so I won't be elegible for an ESA internship in that time. Since the masters course is only one year, there won't be a summer slot for me to do one in.

Is there anyone here who studied in the UK who did an internship at the ESA and if yes, when in your studies did you do this?

If you are one, could you tell us about yourself? I’m curious. Something like: what do you do? where do you do it? what did you study to become that? how is a normal day at work for you? And most importantly, do you like it?

If someone answer this, thanks!!

Hi! Is there anything against applying both for internships and YGT for the same year? I'm a last year master's student

I heard the question from one of my friends and now im curious.

Hi everyone,
I'm currently a bachelor student passionate about space and engineering. I was wondering if the European Space Agency (ESA) offers internships for students who haven't yet completed their bachelor's degree.

If anyone has experience or knows about internship opportunities at ESA for undergraduates, I'd love to hear your insights! Any tips on how to apply or improve my chances would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I know it is a common commercial practice to make fake sales, but I did not expect that from a ESA space shop. I expected honesty with the clients, in my opinion if you are not doing any sale then just don't try to trick people to believe you are.

Have bought an item in March this year 2024 for 62.3 euros, outside sales. Now in November during black Friday it is surprisingly "89 for 62.3"... What a coincidence. Also if you pay enough attention you will see that several "regular" prices are extremely overpriced. Maybe some products are receiving a true sale, but I can for sure confirm some are just fake.

The question is self-explanatory

Does the Vulcain 2.1 have gimballing? Why aree the P120Cs mounted diagonally in an X-pattern instead of a cross-like pattern?

Title

NASA and ESA had originally planned to jointly carry out a Mars return mission consisting of two probes. Since the originally planned mission became too expensive, so NASA has to cancele it in favor of a commercial mission. Is ESA also directly or indirectly involved in this mission
