Module overview

This module will provide students with an insight into the advantages of collaboration within Europe for the promotion of Space Science. The mechanism for the selection of missions and their subsequent development will be illustrated using a number of topical examples.

Students will participate in two group-based mission design studies which will simulate the European mission selection process in the context of high energy astronomy.
