Course Details

Objectives : The MSc in Space Data trains experts capable of making sense of the millions of data points produced each year by French, European, and global satellites. This valuable information paves the way for improved Earth observation to protect it, for predicting natural disasters to mitigate their impacts, and for optimizing agricultural resources on a planetary scale. This program puts data at the service of useful, responsible, and sustainable space exploration.
