Following two intense days of competition in the CanSat Ireland National Finals, a team of students from Confey Community College, Kildare, has today clinched the coveted national title. The CanSat Ireland competition is an ESERO Ireland collaboration, co-funded by the European Space Agency and Research Ireland and coordinated by MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory. The victory marks the end of a campaign that began in September 2024. All participants in this year's competition have displayed incredible technological prowess, with judges lauding the expansive expertise on display from the teams of young scientists. A CanSat is a simulation of a real satellite developed in the size and shape of a soda can. A European Space Agency initiative, the competition fosters an interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) careers by offering students a hands-on experience of a space-themed project. The multidisciplinary nature of the project ensures students are exposed to industry standards in a broad array of potential career paths. In recent months, regional competitions have taken place across Ireland, in partnership with the Technological Universities in Dublin, Athlone, Limerick, Tralee, and Cork. Regional winners gathered in Emo Court, Portlaoise, Co. Laois, on Thursday 1st May, and launched their mini-satellites in rockets to a height of over 350 metres. On Friday 2nd May, these national finalists presented their analysis, recordings and flight patterns to the judging panel consisting of experts from a range of STEM fields. Congratulating Confey Community College, Alan Giltinan, project coordinator for CanSat Ireland said: "Confey College can't be praised enough for this achievement. Winning the National Final of the CanSat competition is no small feat. Year on year, the STEM literacy of the participating students seems to increase as rapidly as the technology they're working with. The technical competency displayed by teams all over the country continues to surpass the expectations of the judges. These students represent Ireland's STEM future, and I think it's safe to say we're in very good hands! ." The students from Confey have been invited to attend the celebratory event, 'Space Engineer for a Day', at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in The Netherlands. The students will have the opportunity to explore ESTEC facilities and laboratories, network with space experts, and present their work to a panel of experts. The CanSat competition will re-open in September 2025. Students or teachers interested in competing in the next iteration of the project are encouraged to visit the CanSat project page at esero.ie.

The United Kingdom's robust and ambitious space sector has many personalities. Each year at the Better Satellite World Awards Dinner in December in London, the SSPI UK Chapter recognizes one of them as the Satellite Personality of the Year. In this podcast, we hear from the 2024 honoree, Dr. David Parker FRAeS, Non-Executive Board Member of the UK Space Agency and Visiting Professor at the University of Southampton. This interview was originally broadcast as part of the Personalities of the Space & Satellite Industry podcast series, which aired before Dr. Parker was named the 2024 Satellite Personality of the Year. Dr. David Parker has led a distinguished thirty-five-year career in the space sector, spanning industry, UK government and the European Space Agency (ESA). Until June 2023, he served as ESA's Director of Space Exploration at ESTEC in the Netherlands, overseeing astronaut missions to the International Space Station, Europe's involvement in Artemis and pioneering projects like training an astronaut with a physical disability. Previously, he was the Chief Executive of the UK Space Agency (2013-2016), where he led Tim Peake's ISS mission and negotiated ESA's first UK center in Harwell. Starting in the UK space industry in 1990, he contributed to projects like XMM-Newton and ExoMars. Dr. Parker holds a degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics and a PhD from NASA Langley Research Center. He has received several accolades, including the Royal Aeronautical Society's Geoffrey Pardoe award. He currently works part-time at ESA, serves on the UK Space Agency Board and is a Visiting Professor at the University of Southampton.

In het regeerprogramma van het kabinet-Schoof struikel je over het woord innovatie. 85 keer roepen ze deze totempaal aan, meer dan enig regeerakkoord ooit. Zelfs Arjen Lubach heeft het erover. Nu precies 25 jaar geleden vonden Frans Nauta en Joeri van den Steenhoven zulke holle praatjes bij weinig actie al hoogst irritant. Met Nederland Kennisland begonnen ze een kleine revolutie. Ze publiceren nu een essay erover. En met Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten ze over toen en nu. En opnieuw: over de toekomst. Van Nederland.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend een mailtje naar adverteren@dagennacht.nl en wij zoeken contact.Op sommige podcast-apps kun je niet alles lezen. De complete tekst en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***In 1999 was Nederland erg zelfgenoegzaam. "Het geld klotste tegen de toonbank", schampert Frans Nauta, maar het toekomstbeeld van ons land was laagwaardig. Men zette in op 'dozen schuiven' van Rotterdam naar Duitsland, de Betuwelijn, Mainports, een vijfde baan bij Schiphol. Joeri van den Steenhoven dook met hem in de data. "We schrokken ons wild. Onderwijs bleek hier gewoon middelmatig, R&D-investeringen waren laag, onze plaats tussen de slimme landen daalde gevaarlijk.”Het klonk gek, want: “Het onderzoek was wereldtop, universiteiten en hogescholen deden het uitstekend - daar lag het niet aan." Waaraan dan wel? Kennisland ging zelf op zoek. "We wilden niet de zoveelste denktank beginnen die rapportjes maakte. We wilden ook actief dingen in gang zetten." Digitale trapveldjes in achterstandswijken, de Kafka Brigade tegen gekmakende bureaucratie. En kijken waar in de wereld het wél lukte met een kenniseconomie.Frans Nauta en Joeri van den Steenhoven vertellen vol vuur over vele lessen die zij leerden en naar ons land vertaalden vanuit Finland – “Leraren kregen daar de ruimte voor hun vak en bleven permanent zélf leren” - en vanuit Silicon Valley, Japan, Canada en zelfs bij de startup scene in Nepal. Het verhaal van Geoffrey Hinton - een nogal aparte geleerde in Toronto waar, dacht men toen, nooit iemand iets van zou horen - is er emblematisch voor. Vorige week won hij de Nobelprijs. Van den Steenhoven kan precies vertellen hoe dat kwam.Het tweede kabinet-Balkenende omhelsde de thema's 'kenniseconomie' en 'leren van Finland'. Nauta werd de eerste secretaris van Het Innovatieplatform. Zijn Haagse avonturen leverden veel schrammen op, maar feit bleef dat hun thema kreeg perspectief, 'kennis' werd breder en dieper begrepen.Het is veel meer dan knappe koppen knuffelen. Mbo is cruciaal. Maar zeker ook hbo, startups, praktijkgericht onderzoek, Leven Lang Ontwikkelen, slimmer mkb en ambitieuze steden en regio's als Brainport Eindhoven, Twente en Amsterdam. Een spectaculair beleidssucces als Platform Bètatechniek bewees hoeveel hier met durf gerealiseerd kon worden. Maar ook hoe zoiets dan een beetje blijft hangen.Lessen hoe het nóg beter had gekund blijven na 25 jaar knagen. In Finland zijn de lijntjes kort, in Nederland loop je vaak vast in ‘bestuurlijke spaghetti'. Nederland kiest nooit radicaal. Stevige instituten de ruimte te geven in plaats van tijdelijke projecten - dat durven we zelden. Nauta zag hoe het DARPA-concept in Amerika - dankzij de Spoetnik-paniek - daar wel in slaagde.De kabinetten-Rutte voerden vaak uitstelbeleid. "En als je dingen voor je uitschuift, komt het moment dat ineens alles tegelijk moet; dat een crisis je overvalt. Haast is dan duur, inefficiënt en nooit erg leerzaam”, moppert Nauta. Liefst ziet hij een Deltaplan komen voor de 'valorisatie' van kennis naar de grote vraagstukken van economie en samenleving. En dat plan mag net als toen in Zeeland ook 30 jaar tijd kosten. Het kabinet-Schoof draait hier de klok juist terug.Het eerdere succes met het onderwijsniveau zien Nauta en Van den Steenhoven in rap tempo wegzakken. "Dat dit geen loeiend alarm doet klinken is onbegrijpelijk." Intussen worden hbo, universiteiten, R&D en LLO met mooie woorden bediend, terwijl hun kas leeggeroofd wordt. "Groot denken durft men niet." Heel anders dan in Europa. Van den Steenhoven vertelt hoe Kennisland daar 'opschaalde' met de vergelijkbare club the Lisbon council.Enthousiast herkent hij veel van die ideeën in het rapport-Draghi. Daar snel op insteken biedt juist Nederland enorme kansen. Met ASML, met de ruimtevaart rond ESTEC – ‘de grootste nooit aangeboorde bron van groei in ons land' - met Leiden Bio Science en Wageningen heeft Nederland goud in handen. Maar net als dat edele metaal moet je dat dan wel actief bewerken.Draghi en Kiezen voor later: de vier scenario's van het CPB dwingen hoe ons te doen wat we in Nederland graag vermijden. Kiezen. En de vergrijzing doet dat niet minder. Want met veel meer ouderen zullen jongeren en andere nieuwkomers productiever moeten zijn, willen we het welvaartsniveau en de leefbaarheid voor iedereen op peil houden. Nauta vertelt hoe hij daar al mee bezig is in Japan. En oh ja – Mario Draghi mag bellen, als hij hulp nodig heeft.***Verder lezenFrans Nauta & Joeri van den Steenhoven - Nederland als kennisland: 25 jaar onderweg***Verder luisteren446 - Doe wat Draghi zegt of Europa wacht een langzame doodsstrijd78 - Roberto Viola: Shaping Europe's Digital Future381 - Het Betrouwbare Bronnen Kenniscoalitie debat 2023371 - Banen op zoek naar mensen.

In this engaging episode of the Space Cafe Podcast, Markus converses with Giuseppe Racca, the key figure behind the European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid mission. As a seasoned expert with extensive experience at ESTEC, Racca provides deep insights into the mission's goal to unravel the enigmatic forces of dark matter and dark energy. He discusses the challenges and triumphs of leading a major space exploration project and shares his passion for astrophysics and the pursuit of cosmic knowledge.3 Memorable Quotes by Giuseppe Racca:"What is interesting in Euclid is that we have never been really sure that we could do it. Let's say because it's really at the very extreme of technology, whether you can achieve that. It's basically a perfect telescope [...] but this one has to be perfect because if it is not perfect, you cannot really achieve this performance"​​."Exploring the universe's dark side with Euclid opens a window to understanding its accelerating expansion and the role of dark matter and energy.""Being at the forefront of a mission like Euclid is a journey of discovery, not just for science but for our understanding of existence itself."List of All Links or Names Shared:Giuseppe RaccaESA's Euclid Mission (Euclid Mission Official Website)European Space Agency (ESA Official Website)L2 pointJames Webb Space Telescope (Webb Telescope Official Website)SpaceX Falcon 9 (SpaceX Official Website)Choice of Music for the Spotify Playlist for the Aspiring Space Traveler:Giuseppe Racca's choice: "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane, reflecting his admiration for 70s prog rock and its metaphorical connection to the journey into the unknown cosmo​​s.

Snart kanske den första europén landar på månen, och spår av liv kan hittas under ytan på Mars. På den europeiska rymdorganisationen ESAs centrum för teknik och forskning möter vi två svenskar som inte vill flytta hem igen.  Inom fem år ska USA åter sätta två människor på månen, och för första gången ska de få europeisk hjälp med farkosten. Och i kapseln finns det plats för fyra personer, kanske kan även en europé komma med, hoppas man på Estec i Nederländerna. Vi tittar på marsbilen som snart ska bli först med att söka direkt efter liv på den röda planeten, och hör vi om den nya satelliten som kan ge oss bättre väderprognoser.  Och svenska Sara visar oss runt i den internationella rymdstationen och berättar om spänningen vid en raketuppskjutning. Programledare: Björn Gunér och Lena Nordlund

242 - Satellite Testing at ESTEC

This is the last episode recorded during my visit to ESA's ESTEC last fall. I get a tour of the Test Centre with the head of the section, Mark Wagner. We discuss the various test stands and facilities, including the thermal vacuum facility, the large space simulator, the thermal vacuum chamber, the vibration facilities, electromagnetic testing and acoustic testing.

During my visit to ESA's ESTEC last fall, I talked to Jose Gonzalez del Amo, who is the head of the Electric Propulsion Lab. We discussed the basics of electric propulsion, the pros and cons compared to chemical engines, different engine styles and their use cases, as well as the work ESA performs in the lab.

Last fall I visited ESTEC, ESA's space research and technology center. In this first of three episodes, I talk with Maria Hernek, who heads the Flight Software Systems section. We talk about the challenges of space flight software, the development processes used by ESA and its vendors, as well as means of ensuring the required quality attributes. This episode can be seen as a continuation of the conversation with Andreas Wortmann in the OHB episode.

Am 2. Oktober 2016 gab es beim ESTEC der Europäischen Raumfahrtbehörde ESA einen Tag der offenen Tür, bei dem viel geboten wurde. Ich habe mich mit dem Aufnahmegerät mal dort umgehört.

Space Boffin Sue Nelson is at the European Space Agency's technical heart - ESTEC in the Netherlands - where spacecraft undergo a crucial 'shake and bake' before launch. She's joined by astronauts Paolo Nespali and Andre Kuipers, ESTEC head Franco Ongaro, Rosetta's mission manager Fred Jansen, and Andreas Jung, from Europe's experimental new spaceplane, IXV. Tales of retro re-entry in a Soyuz, the future of space travel and how chocolate can make a comet, in yet another tasty space treat. Like this podcast?

Das European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk in der Nähe von Den Haag in den Niederlanden ist einer der größten Standorte der ESA und beherbergt neben zahlreichen Forschungslaboren auch ein großes Testzentrum, in dem alle Raumfahrzeuge der ESA auf Herz und Nieren geprüft werden, bevor sie für ihren Einsatz freigegeben werden. Das ESTEC Test Centre nimmt damit eine im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes zentrale Rolle im Gesamtablauf der ESA-Missionen ein und liefert für Inbetriebnahme und Betrieb wertvolle Ergebnisse. Das ESTEC Test Centre ist mit einer Vielzahl an üppig dimensionierten Testständen ausgerüstet. So ist hier die Prüfung der Temparatur- und Vakkumbeständigkeit wie auch der Vibrationsfestigkeit auch großer Raumfahrzeuge wie dem ATV möglich.

ESA's Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) will launch on board an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe's Spaceport, in Kourou, French Guiana. ATV will be used to restock the shelves in the International Space Station (ISS), at a frequency of one every 18 to 24 months. Weighing 20 tonnes and the size of a London double-decker bus, ATV is the largest spacecraft ever developed in Europe. Every ATV will deliver up to 6 tonnes of cargo to the ISS. Apart from food, water, air and clothes, the ATV also carries propellant for the ISS and equipment for scientific use. ATV will also be used to reboost the Station's orbit to overcome the effects of residual atmospheric drag. After six months, the spacecraft will be loaded with waste before it is undocked for a destructive re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, freeing up precious living and working space in the other quarters of the Station. The ATV will perform automated dockings controlled by GPS and laser beams - a new technology that ESA scientists and engineers have been rehearsing for months. The first ATV, named Jules Verne, has recently completed a successful test campaign at ESA's research and technology centre, ESTEC, in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. On 13 July, Jules Verne starts a long journey to the launch site in Kourou.ESApod video programme

ESA's Aurora Programme for robotic and human exploration of the Solar System is expected to increase the need for space automation and robotics. The research and development needed to make these ambitions a reality is already underway. ESApod takes a look at the ongoing European activities which were highlighted during ASTRA 2006 - the 9th ESA Workshop on Advanced Space Technologies for Robotics and Automation - which took place at ESA's research and technology centre, ESTEC, in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, between 28-30 November 2006.ESApod video programme
