Research Unleashed
Interdisciplinary Space Master SnT and the Faculty of Science, Technology, and Medicine jointly launched the Interdisciplinary Space Master (ISM) in the autumn of 2019, with the support of the Luxembourg Space Agency. This two-year programme offers students a unique project-based learning experience and strong links with national stakeholders, including industry. ISM alumni are equipped with technical and business abilities enabling them to enter the space sector with confidence upon graduation.
Dynamic Teaching and Study Learn from industry experts as well as academics ISM students benefit from a diverse teaching team that includes researchers and professors as well as experts from industry partners. Among a number of visiting lecturers and researchers, we are welcoming Spire CEO Peter Platzer to our classrooms in 2020. He will share his entrepreneurial ethos as well as his technical expertise with the next generation of NewSpace industry leaders.
Research for the real world The entire ISM programme is grounded in the context of SnT’s research with industrial partners. Our centre’s research projects offer students the opportunity to visit commercial facilities, analyse real-world datasets, and grapple with industry challenges while while remaining immersed in a rigorous academic environment.
Think across disciplines ISM brings together researchers and lecturers from a variety of backgrounds including space systems engineering, satellite communications, and autonomous robots. The interdisciplinary collaboration and exchange that students experience at ISM gives them the methodological foundations they need to choose the best approaches to continue in this tradition long after leaving SnT.
State-of-the-art Research Facilities LunaLab — The new LunaLab is one of just a few facilities globally that comprehensively simulates lunar conditions for testing autonomous robots. The simulated lunar environment has a dimension of 80 m2 and it is filled with 20 tons of basalt.
