Unoosa DropTes - Stelium

We are glad to announce that the results achieved throughouht StELIUM project will be celebrated publicly by DAER (Department of Aerospace Science and Technics of Politecnico di Milano) next Wednesday at 4 pm ! 🎉

This ceremony aims to celebrate all the students that have during the year contributed to the pride of the Department and obtained prestigious awards. Don't hesitate to participate via the youTube chain of AerospacePoliMi 🚀

The first journal paper of UNOOSA DropTES - StELIUM is now online! 🥳
This manuscript was qualified as one of the best of its session at the 70th International Astronautical Congress, becoming accepted in Acta Astronautica after a peer-review process.

StELIUM: A student experiment to investigate the sloshing of magnetic liquids in microgravity Liquid sloshing represents a major challenge for the design and operation of space vehicles. In low-gravity environments, a highly non-linear movement…

After four successful drops, our team celebrate the end of the campaign on the top of the experiment at 15 m high ! 🍾🎉

The experiment couldn’t be complete without the support of Ferrotec Corporation. Our ferrofluid is ready for launch tomorrow ! 🚀

Really happy to had the chance to visit the Ariane Group facilities in Bremen ! Many thanks to the engineers who kindly presented their contributions to Ariane 5 and 6 launchers, but also Bartolomeo which will be sent to the ISS in some months ! 🤩

Many thanks to one of our sponsors, University Of Seville, who support us in that adventure !

Estudiantes de la US prueban su proyecto de microgravedad Estudiantes de la Universidad de Sevilla viajan a Alemania para ejecutar su experimento la torre de microgravedad de Bremen

First day at the Tower : 1,2,3 ready 🚀!

On our ways to Bremen Drop Tower ! 🥨✈️
The adventure start tomorrow ! 🤩

With Francesco Garrone, Álvaro Romero Calvo, Antonio J García Salcedo, Inés Rivoalen

⌛ Only 2 days before our testing campaign in Bremen!! The team is on his way to ZARM's Drop Tower to carry on with the experiment integration and launch 🚀🚀🚀

Antonio J García Salcedo had the opportunity to talk about our upcoming activities the in the local radio of the Universidad de Sevilla.
The talk is available at https://radio.us.es/, min 6:42 in "US Informa. Informativo 15 de Noviembre de 2019" section.

But what are we going to do these next weeks ?
1st week : Integration of the experiment to the capsule, participation to the Space Tech Expo Europe, and even visit of Airbus Space facilities !
Snd week : Catapult of the experiment and analysis of the results ! 😍

Can't wait to access one of the best microgravity experimentation facilities around the world !

Join us in the adventure, and don't miss upcoming posts !
