The Egyptian Space Agency is excited to announce the commencement of its annual summer training programme for students from Egyptian universities and institutes. Interested attendees are expected to participate in the Egyptian Space Agency Summer Training for Students from July 14 to September 9, 2024.
The programme is delivered within the framework of the support provided by the Egyptian Space Agency to serve the scientific, research and academic community and its human cadres, including scientists, experts and researchers. The goal is to harness the agency’s technological and laboratory capabilities to disseminate modern technological science among Egyptian university students in a manner that links their academic studies with practical and scientific reality.
Training Segmentation
First Programme
The general training on space technology offers trainees a comprehensive understanding of the various applications of space technology in everyday life, the functioning of satellites, and the primary systems involved. The programme includes visits to satellite design factories, where trainees learn about the design, testing, assembly, and integration of satellites. In addition, trainees will visit space operation centres to understand satellite planning, monitoring, control stations, and data reception from Egyptian satellites like Egypt-2. The training concludes with sessions at the data processing and spatial imaging centre, where participants learn about the diverse applications and fields that benefit from satellite data.
- This five-day training programme is suitable for students of all ages, from 12 to 18, and all disciplines.
Second Programme
Space innovation workshop using the satellite educational space Keys for students of engineering colleges in various disciplines.
This practical training programme acquaints trainees with the stages of designing space missions, starting from defining requirements to establishing the main specifications of the satellite. It then introduces the satellite systems, design specifications, and the tasks of each subsystem.
Students will study satellite systems and testing methods to ensure performance meets requirements. They will also learn to operate satellites, send commands, and analyse data to monitor satellite status. This training is provided through the Space Keys platform, designed for hands-on experience in satellite operation and testing.
The training programme lasts five consecutive days and is suitable for students of engineering colleges in various disciplines.
Third Programme
The programme focuses on the space environment and space weather. Participants will learn about the effects of the space environment on satellite systems and the impact of space debris.
The program includes studying the magnetic field, ionosphere, and space weather prediction through simulations and data analysis. Trainees will then proceed to the practical training phase.
The programme includes the simulation of space environmental risks and their effects on satellite systems. This involves modeling debris and impact mitigation, analysing solar cycle indicators, geomagnetic storms, ground magnetic data, and ionospheric coverage. These activities help understand and mitigate space weather’s effects on satellite systems.
- The training lasts two weeks (a theoretical week and a practical week) and is suitable for students of science and engineering colleges that specialise in space.
Fourth Programme
The Small Satellite Workshop (CanSat) designs training for school students, with each student working on their own satellite. Through this programme, students learn how satellites work in a simple and practical manner. They train to install, programme, and operate satellites, culminating in the launch of the Can Moon Launch Tower
Furthermore, students receive SAT and photos wirelessly, providing them with a unique scientific and practical experience.
- The training lasts five consecutive days and suits students aged 12 to 17 years..
