SpaceMaster Erasmus Mundus Student!

I am currently studying in the SpaceMaster Erasmus Mundus Masters Program under the European Commission for Education & Culture. It is a elite space technology program in which students from more than 22 different countries with different backgrounds of science and technology study in the program. The SpaceMaster Program gives the students opportunity to interact with the Space Industry very closely since often lectures and seminars are conducted by the people involved with the industry. Select people who have vast expertise and experience in the industry often deliver lectures based on their experiences in Space Industry.

I spent the first semester at Julius Maximilian University Wurzburg, Germany whose satellite was launced by ISRO, here i spent my semester studying about all the spacecraft subsystem and space dynamics of the satellite mainly. Now I am spending our second semester at the IRF, Kiruna Space Campus who built payloads for space missions. Here we are focused on practical approach to spacecraft electronics, spacecraft environment interactions (thermal, drag etc).

I will be going to France for my third semester and realy looking forward to it!
