    European Space Camp – 2017 Participants Celine Victoria Berg-Hansen From: Norway Description: Hello, my name is Celine and I am from Sortland in Northern Norway. I am 18 years old. When I am not doing homework, I am most likely reading a book or watching Netflix. I have been to the Aurora Space Center on multiple occasions since it is so close to where I live. But I am really excited to go back there for ESC 2017! Roommate description: Celine was an awesome roommate, we got along very well. She is such a sweet and kind person. We were able to have many interesting conversations and coordinated getting up in the morning - not always the nicest task haha. Adrian StokdalOpheim From: Norway Description: Hello! My name is Adrian, i am 18 years old and live just outside the city of Trondheim in the middle of Norway. From a young age i have always been fascinated by space and all its hidden mysteries. Not only space itself, but also rockets, satellites and all of the other technology involved. I also love making things and, using the tools and machines in our garage, i have done a few projects the last couple of years. When i don't do homework/schoolwork i usually spend my time on these projects or outdoors training. I have been doing a sport called "orienteering" since i was eight, and still do my best to acheive the best possible results in competition. Orienteering is a typical scandinavian sport where the goal is to run a course, with several controls, set on a map at the shortest amount of time.

IAC-13.E.6.1.6 COMPETITIONS, GAMES AND PRIZES - MEANS FOR ADVANCED SPACE RESEARCH? L. Summerera,∗, A. Galvezb, D. Izzoa, F. Salzgeberc, A. de Clercqc, P. Manesc aESA Advanced Concepts Team, Keplerlaan 1, 2201 Noordwijk, The Netherlands bESA General Studies Programme, rue Mario Nikis, 75015 Paris, France cESA Technology Transfer Programme, Keplerlaan 1, 2201 Noordwijk, The Netherlands Abstract The traditional main mechanisms to advance science and technology in the space sector have recently been complemented by the use of competitions, prizes and games. Historically competitions and ex-ante prizes have played an important role among the tools of governments to stimulate innovation and advance science and technologies. Triggered by the success of the Ansari X-Prize in late 1990s / early 2000, these mechanisms have steadily gained grounds and supporters, also among governments. Scholarly literature on the effectiveness, advantages and disadvantages of these methods is emerging but still scarce. Most of the available scholarly literature assesses their impact based on US case studies and examples. The present paper provides a first analysis of these mechanisms and tools within the European Space Agency (ESA), based on three different areas: scientific research within its Advanced Concepts Team, business and innovation oriented competitions and prizes within the technology transfer programme and system level studies within the General Studies Programme. The ESA Advanced Concepts Team has experimented and used new ways of engaging with the larger scientific community via the use of scientific competitions, online games and scientific crowdsourcing experiments.

  • Sounding Rockets : Principle, Functioning and Applications
    Sounding Rockets : Principle, Functioning and Applications Florimond Collette Yann Kempf BASI-P2, Université du Luxembourg Małgorzata Karaś Warsaw School of Economics Abstract Sounding rockets appeared in the mid-20th century and proved to be an extremely useful science tool in all fields of physics and even beyond. These rockets are conceived for sub-orbital flights, to take measurement and/or perform experiments in the high atmosphere, in near space and/or in micro-gravity conditions. They also allow to introduce young scientists to space sciences by undertaking a full-scale pedagogical science project with a relatively moderate cost. This paper presents the origins and principles of sounding rockets, how they work, as well as a few recent science applications. Introduction Sounding rockets are small rockets (vehicles powered by the high-speed ejection of matter through a nozzle) with one or several stages and solid, liquid or hybrid propellant. They perform sub-orbital flights at maximal altitudes ranging from less than 1 km to more than 1200 km. After a thrust phase, they generally have a ballistic flight phase before touching or splashing down. If they have the right equipment, they can be retrieved after the flight. Apart from the engines, sounding rockets comprise a payload made of science experiments performed during the flight, as well as a data processing system, either with real-time radio downlink, or on-board saving. The first case implies real-time tracking by one or more ground telemetry stations. The second case implies recovery of the rocket after the flight to extract the data. Sounding rockets are a privileged tool because they reach zones of the atmospheric and near-space environment that are unaccessible by other means.

The primary usage of this document is for submission as a thesis and as such, it has not and will not be submitted for other tertiary level coursework requirements. I Abstract REXUS/BEXUS is a near-space launch programme providing university students with the opportunity to fly their experiments aboard rockets and balloons. This is made possible through the joint efforts of SNSB, DLR Space Agency, SSC, DLR and ESA Education. Previously, although planning has occurred in tandem and by agreement with all the parties, no singular project plan document for the programme has been created. Although operating together under the EuroLaunch Cooperation Agreement for the organisation and management of the programme, SSC and DLR both created separate plans at the beginning of the current REXUS/BEXUS programme.
