Intro - SoMe Science

Kom forbi og sig hej til holdet fra ESPE ved DTU åbent hus 2017!

Vi kan fortælle dig om mulighederne ved at læse geofysik og rumteknologi, samt tage dig på en rundtur rundt i vores verden 😊

Vi glæder os til at se dig!

Cash us inside, howbow space? 😂

Are you interested in spaceflight or rocket science?
Do you want to learn and get hands-on experience in developing a launch vehicle?

Then don't forget to show up today and join the first danish student rocketry club! Take part in the development of reusable and supersonic launchers and meet fellow students with the same passion!

When: today (Monday 26th of September) at 17:15
Where: DTU Building 311 (Ground floor)

All fields of study are welcome and no prior knowledge is required!

Reception at DTU Space, celebrating the completion of the ASIM instruments! Now the instruments will be shipped to Italy for system-integration, after which it goes to ESA, then NASA and finally SpaceX - before (hopefully 7-9-13) being launched to the ISS in August 2017.

A big congratulation to the whole department and the team!! (Y)

A brief summary:
"The Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) will study the Earth's atmosphere as one system, from the surface of the Earth to the edge of space. The atmosphere is the thin layer that covers the planet's crust, and protects life as we journey through space.
ASIM will observe extreme thunderstorms, water v***r, clouds, aerosols and their interplay in the atmosphere.
DTU Space provides the scientific management for this project and is responsible for delivering a package of instruments (2 cameras, 3 photometers and one X- and gamma-ray detector) which will be mounted on the Columbus module of the International Space Station. ASIM consists of a number of cameras, specially designed for the International Space Station, that will observe the Earth's atmosphere. ASIM will give new insights into atmospheric processes that will improve climate models."

To all ESPE-students:

Remember that you are invited to join Space Day 2015!

Space Day's Match Making program gives you the opportunity to meet representatives from the danish high-technological companies within the space industry, and explore the possibilities for new and exciting projects in collaboration with said companies!

Space Day 2015 is initiated with speeches from prominent figures within the danish space industry and followed up by a Match Making program in the afternoon!

In my own experience, this event is underrated and underappreciated, and I would advice all ESPE-students to do everything they can to be able to participate. It is a major career- and inspiration-boost and can give you a significant insight in what path you wish to pursue later on!

Time: Friday, 11th of September 2015, starting at 10:30, ending at approx. 15:00 (no later than 17:00)
Location: Condeferation of Danish Industry on Rådhuspladsen, Copenhagen.

REMEMBER TO SIGN UP NO LATER THAN 31 July.
(Participation is free)

ESPE Alumni proudly presents its new logo!

The logo contains the 4 major areas of science in ESPE - excellent illustration if you ask me!

Big thanks to ESPE-student Lukas Christensen for designing this awesome logo (Y)

Do you need an idea for a project?

Then join us for the ESPE-projectday and become inspired!

This event at DTU Space, will give you the opportunity to ask questions, brainstorm and discuss project ideas with several ESPE project supervisors and your fellow students!

The projectday is relevant for all ESPE students that are about to begin their introductory project, bachelor project, master's thesis or those who simply wish to establish a special course.

Time: Wednesday the 15th of April from 11-13 (11am - 1 pm)
Place: Building 328, room 123/129

We hope to see you there!

Welcome to ESPE! Today we are represented by bachelor students and student advisors, that help younger minds decide what scientific area they wish to explore! Always a pleasure to stimulate the youth :)

Are you interested in drones and the possibilities of such technology?

Then you have the opportunity to meet several french and danish drone-researchers at DTU Skylab on friday the 27th of February.

In week 9, DTU Space DroneCenter is hosting an interdisciplinary drone-workshop on autonomi, swarming and navigation together with several french researchers, as well as other DTU departments.

In that regard, all students are invited to an open and casual session with the workshop participants!

Maybe you are working on a project with drones yourself? Maybe you have an exciting idea or thought on the technology, or a problem that you wish to receive input and feedback on? Perhaps you have a drone you want to show off, or you just want an interesting casual chat with the researchers and fellow students.

The only thing YOU should do is to meet up and either talk or listen - then we will supply the scientists and plenty of coffee :)

When: Friday the 27th of February 2015, 1:15 PM to 2:15 PM (13.15-14.15)

Where: DTU Skylab, Diplomvej, bygning 373 s, 1. sal (mødelokalet Apollo), 2800 Kgs. Lyngby

Participation is free. All interested bachelor-, master- and ph.d students are welcome!

We hope you've had a great NYE and welcomes all the ESPE students back to campus!

In week 4, DTU gets a visit from a delegation of 6 leading employees from NASA Ames Research Center.

The purpose with the visit is to identify possible projects of collaboration, within the scientific areas of space technology and synthetic biology.

In that regard, DTU Space invites all the ESPE students to a lunch talk, where NASA Ames will tell about their research areas, as well as the possibilities of an internship.

When: Thursday 22 of January 2015, kl. 12:00-13:00 (12 am to 1 pm)
Where: Building 328, room 123
