Explore the universewith ROSPIN Academy
The first step towards a career in the space industry. All three levels of our micro-masters experience — featuring 19 expert speakers from NASA, ESA, and more — are now open for free to everyone.
Your gateway to the space industry
ROSPIN Academy is an educational initiative by ROSPIN, designed to introduce students and young professionals to the space sector. A free 10-week micro-masters experience across 3 levels, featuring 19 lectures from experts at NASA, ESA, Astroscale, United Nations, and more — now available for free to everyone on SpacedIn.
From learning to mission design
Over 10 weeks, participants explored the fundamentals of space systems engineering through technical lectures, assignments, and weekly quizzes — then applied them to a realistic mission design challenge.
A 2-stage mission design challenge
The final objective: apply space systems engineering to a realistic mission design challenge based on one of three briefs.
Individual Phase
Participants developed preliminary mission concepts independently.
Team Phase
Multidisciplinary teams transformed those concepts into complete mission architectures.
