Hey is anyone participating in the Space Ressources Challenge - Collection and Processing of Lunar Regolith ?

I don’t know if this is considered related to ESA or not , but i always wondered what i could do to make me chances higher to work in ESA , besides studying hard which i already do lol. So i was going to ask if there where any opportunities/additional things i could do to make this dream a reality.

PS ( i wanna study areo space engineering )

Hey everyone!

I'm currently a second-year astrophysics student (from the Netherlands), but I'm contemplating switching to medicine. The reasons behind this decision are not so important for this post. I still have a deep interest in astronomy / space, though, and was wondering if there are any careers out there that combine aspects of both fields?

For instance, I’m curious if there are jobs that involve being a medical professional for astronauts, or if there’s room for research that spans both space science and medicine. I’ve heard about space medicine and how microgravity affects the human body, and that got me thinking—could I potentially bridge both fields by working in something like space biology or even biomedical research that supports space exploration? This lead me also to wonder if doctors can become astronauts?

I’d love to hear about any potential career paths or niches where both fields overlap, even in ways I might not have considered.

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, I just wanted to know how long did you wait between the closing date of an application on ESA careers website and receiving your first feedback?

How many years before Europe has a starship competitor?
