Creating and sharing knowledge for telecommunications

Aveiro Space Week


on 09-09-2024

... Instituto de Telecomunicações with the University of Aveiro are hosting Aveiro Space Week, a summer school running from September 9th to 13th. This program offers students the chance to develop expertise in earth observation, targeting those enrolled in master’s programs or in the final year of their undergraduate studies.

The summer school features two distinct tracks: hardware and software. In the hardware track, participants will gain foundational knowledge in developing equipment for remote sensing and communications. The software track focuses on teaching the basics of data analysis and app development, with the ultimate goal of preparing participants for the NASA Apps Challenge in October.

The event will also feature a lineup of distinguished experts in the field, including a special appearance by NASA astronaut John Daniel "Danny" Olivas. Having participated in two NASA missions (STS-117 and STS-128) and conducted three spacewalks, Danny Olivas will share insights from his experiences in space and his work in aerospace engineering.


Aveiro Space Week is part of the NewSpace agenda under the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) and also includes the promotion of the international “World CanSat Rocketry Championship (WCRC)” competition.
