- Organisation : CNES/CST
- Way of training : vocational education
- Language: French
- Place: Toulouse-Labège DIAGORA
Course Details
Objectives : The courses are an introduction to all of the techniques and technologies used for building and operating spacecraft.
They describe the characteristics and specific design constraints of space technology, as well as the techniques and technology of flight subsystems and equipment.
Concerned public : These courses have been designed in particular for beginner engineers needing an introduction to the space field or experienced engineers wanting to broaden their knowledge in order to have a more comprehensive view of space techniques and technology.
Prerequisites : four years higher education (French Baccalauréat +4)
Admission requirements : On registration (see dedicated web site)
Duration and terms : 2 x 5 days
Notes : - This training course is, in principle, organised annually and alternately in French or English. The 2010 session will be in french but simultaneous translation in english will be made (depending on the number of registration of anglophobes);.
