SUMMARY:EuRoC: European Rocketry Challenge 2021
DESCRIPTION:The second edition of the EuRoc – European Rocketry Challenge\, the first university rocket launch competition in Europe\, promoted by the Portuguese Space Agency – Portugal Space\, will bring together 20 teams\, and around 400 students\, from all over Europe.\nEuRoC seeks to stimulate engineering students to design\, build and launch their own vehicles. In a broader spectrum the competition aims to encourage students to study science\, technology\, engineering and math (STEM) and to the development of technological skills. \nThe EPFL Rocket Team will be participating on site this year with their rocket Bella Lui 2.\nMore than 20 members of the team will be in Ponte de Sor between October 11th – 17th\, reaching for success on the launchpad. \n \nMore details about the pasts projects of the EPFL Rocket Team can be found HERE

SUMMARY:Expo 2020 Dubai – EPFL hosts the space weeks at the Swiss Pavilion
DESCRIPTION:On October 17th – 30th 2021\, the exhibition “Switzerland\, a space nation” will showcase our country’s over half-century of active international participation in the space field\, EPFL expertise in space education\, research and innovation and raise awareness on space sustainability. Visitors would also be able to experience virtual space outreach projects and attend a large program of conferences. \n\nTuesday October 19th\n09:30 am – 12:00 pm: Panel (Australian Pavilion)\nIn cooperation with the UAE University and Curtin University\, Australia\nRadio Astronomy Research & Development \nIncluding Prof. Jean-Paul Kneib\, Director eSpace and LASTRO (EPFL) \n4:00 pm – 6:00 pm: World Majli (Indian Pavilion) – Livestream available\nco-hosted by Switzerland and India\nLessons from Space: Applying Approaches from Space to Fight Climate Change\nIncluding Prof. Claude Nicollier\, former Swiss Astronaut and Mrs. Emmanuelle David\, executive manager eSpace (EPFL)\nTechnological innovations developed for space exploration and manned spaceflight offer rich potential here on Earth\, at a time when efficient resource management is becoming mission critical for humanity. \n2:45 pm : forum (Dubai Exhibition Center)\nin collaboration with Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry\nSpace Thematic Business Forum – Opportunities for Tomorrow \nIncluding Dr. Luc Piguet\, CEO & co-founder (Clearspace) \nWednesday 20 October\n11:00 am – 12:00 pm: Keynote (Swiss Pavilion) – Livestream available\nSustainable Space Logistics and Space Sustainability Rating\nProf. Jean-Paul Kneib\, Director eSpace and LASTRO (EPFL) and Dr. Tim Flohrer\, Head Space Debris Office (ESA)\nIn recent years\, the space industry has evolved towards a predominantly commercial operation\, with a proliferation of reusable rockets and nano-satellites. But it comes at a cost\, including increased space traffic and debris. This leads to rethink the way we conduct space missions\, in compliance with the SDGs. And this is exactly what EPFL Space Center (eSpace) research initiative on Sustainable Space Logistics (SSL) is all about\, supporting the development of key technologies such as relative navigation and space robotics. We will also talk about the Space Sustainability Rating (SSR) that has been developed by a consortium including the World Economic Forum\, the European Space Agency\, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, The University of Texas at Austin and Bryce Tech. It will be operated by eSpace by 2022 and aims to promote and incentivize Sustainable Behavior of Space Actors\, including space debris mitigation. \n1:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Guest Lecture (Swiss Pavilion) – Livestream available\nIn collaboration with the Japanese Pavilion and the UAE University\nHuman Spaceflight: inspiring Humankind\nProf. Claude Nicollier\, former Swiss Astronaut and Ms. Naoko Yamazaki\, former JAXA Astronaut \nExploration has always been in Humankind’s DNA. Explorers are countless in History and have always brought knowledge and fascination to the world. But what do we know from Astronauts? What is their motivation\, how do they prepare\, what kind of mission do they achieve? This talk is about sharing two astronauts personal experience and thoughts on their space missions\, eventually bringing inspiration to new generations. \nThursday 21 October\n10:30 am – 12:30 pm: Workshop (Swiss Pavilion) – Catch-up streaming available\nIn collaboration with the UAE University\nSpace education: how to design an outreach program\nMs. Emmanuelle David\, executive manager eSpace (EPFL eSpace)\, Ms. Chloé Carrière\, EPFL student (Space at your Service)\, Dr. Aquib Moin\, Assistant Professor (UAE University)\nThis workshop for students will emphasize space science\, outreach and sustainability. Students will be invited to design their own Space outreach activities and strategies\, which will be shared with the public. \n4:30 pm – 6:00 pm: Panel (Swiss Pavilion) – Livestream available\nSpace Debris: Knowledge creation & Problem solving\nDr. Luc Piguet\, CEO and co-founder (ClearSpace)\, Prof. Moriba Jah\, professor and Space Environmentalist (University of Texas at Austin\, remotely) Prof. Thomas Schildknecht\, Director Swiss OGS (University of Bern\, remotely)\nSpace activity has never been as intensive in the last 50 years. This has also developed a problem: space debris. Our experts will explain the current situation\, thanks to debris observation\, and what is needed to improve the situation\, from a technological point of view from knowledge creation- observation and database creation to problem solving – such as ESA’s CleaSpace-1 mission. Metrics arounds space sustainability will also be introduced \n4:00 pm – 6:00 pm: Panel (Australian Pavilion) – Livestream available ?\nIn collaboration with the Australian Pavilion\nSquare Kilometre Array (SKA) Science Showcase\nIncluding Prof. Jean-Paul Kneib\, Director eSpace and LASTRO (EPFL)\nThe Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is an international effort to create the world’s largest radio telescope over a square kilometre of collecting area. It will consist of thousands of dishes and up to a million low-frequency antennas. As one of the largest scientific endeavours in history\, the SKA will bring together a wealth of the world’s finest scientists\, engineers and policy makers to bring the project to fruition. Whilst 14 member countries are the cornerstone of the SKA\, around 100 organisations across 20 countries are participating in the design and development of the SKA. The SKA will be able to conduct transformational science\, breaking new ground in astronomical observations. SKA scientists’ key science goals for the telescope will re-define our understanding of space as we know it. Prof. Jean-Paul Kneib will talk about the major Swiss contribution to the project. \nSaturday 23 October\n10:00 am – 13:00 pm: Sustainability @ Expo (Nexus North)\nIn collaboration with the UAE Space Agency and the Slovenian Pavilion.\nProtecting the Great Unknown\nIncluding Ms. Emmanuelle David\, executive manager eSpace (EPFL) and Dr. Luc Piguet\, CEO and co-founder (ClearSpace)\nSpace technology is one of several technologies central to successfully implementing the SDGs. As the space sector evolves\, both public and private actors must take collective action to contribute towards long-term sustainability of the space environment. This event will focus on sustainable space exploration\, the role of women in the space economy\, and the link between space exploration and sustainability here on Earth. \nSunday 24 October\n1:00 pm – 3:30 pm: Workshop (Zabeel House by Jumeirah) on invitation only\nIn collaboration with Skoltech\nSustainable Space Logistics: How to Design and Build More Sustainable Space Missions?\nIncluding Ms. Anne-Marlène Rüede\, Doctoral student eSpace (EPFL) and Shamil Biktimirov Doctoral student (Skoltech)\nThe meetup aims at gathering international specialists from industry\, government\, and academia interested in sustainable space logistics\, to share their ideas and future visions of the field. \nFollow us in Dubai on Social Media: #eSpaceDubai \nLINKS: \n\nSwiss Pavilion – space weeks program\nTranquility Base escape game (Space@yourService)\nVIRUP (LASTRO)\nSustainable Space Logistics\nSpace Sustainability Rating\nClearSpace\nVirtual Expo Channel \n“Powers out of this World: Using space for the benefit of all humanity ” in collaboration with Italy and Portugal\n“Hope and Perseverance: Lessons Learnt from the Red Planet for life on Earth”\, in collaboration with USA
