So, you want to build a satellite?

The MAVEN Team at Goddard has put up some videos to show what it takes to build a satellite. Those short animated movies are a quick look into all the work it takes to make a space mission work. NASA seems to do it not much more different than ESA does *smile* The videos are after the jump.

About the mission: MAVEN is set to launch in 2013 and will explore Mars’ upper atmosphere, ionosphere and interactions with the sun and solar wind. Scientists will use MAVEN data to determine the role that loss of volatile compounds, such as CO2, NO2, and H2O, from the Mars atmosphere to space has played through time, giving insight into the history of Mars atmosphere and climate, liquid water, and planetary habitability.

SpaceMaster

What a cool week first I get notice that I can work 3 months during summer in Lisbon, Portugal, to program Humanoid Robotics, how cool is that?!

And then I get notice that starting with the next semester I study to become Master of the Universe Space Science and Technology, so now try to top that :-) --> link: www.spacemaster.eu

Well this weekend is the Donauinselfest in Austria and since my motivation to do something for university dropped to 0K - I am definitely going to do some celebrating at the DIF!

See you there :-)
