ESA ESTEC — Visit of the European Space Research and Technology Centre

Technical study trip and professional immersion at ESA’s ESTEC (Noordwijk, NL) focused on the end-to-end lifecycle of European space missions. Gained direct exposure to world-class testing infrastructure, including Propulsion, EMC, and Materials & Radiation labs, alongside the Concurrent Design Facility (CDF) for system-level mission conceptualization. Explored cutting-edge research in Lunar Science and 5G/MMO telecommunications through briefings with ESA practitioners, gaining first-hand insight into the rigorous engineering standards and multidisciplinary collaboration required for large-scale space-sector innovation.
