SpaceMaster’s overall aim
To combine the great diversity of space expertise at six European and five non EU universities to a common platform of competence in a research oriented environment
Stucture of SpaceMaster (1)•Two years research oriented Master Course
•All teaching and textbooks in English (except at UPS during the Second year where there will be a mixture of most French and some English)
•Double Master’s Degrees from two European Countries
Stucture of SpaceMaster (2)
The first year is common for all the European and Third country students
Six engineering and two science tracks during the second year

The Second YearThe Second Year, six engineering Tracks (1)
•E1- Engineering Track 1, CU, UK - Dynamics and Control of Systems and Structures
•E2- Engineering Track 2, TKK, Finland – Space Robotics
•E3- Engineering Track 3, JMUW, Germany - Automation, Control and Communication of Space Robotics
The Second YearThe Second Year, six Engineering Tracks (2)
E4 - Engineering Track 4, LTU, Sweden – Space Technology and Instrumentation
E5 - Engineering Track 5, Czech Republic – Space Automation and Control
E6 - Engineering Track 6, UPS, France – Space Technique and
Instrumentation, Professional oriented
The Second YearThe Second Year, two science Tracks (3)
S1 - Scientific Track 1, UPS, France – Astrophysics, Space Sciences, Planetologi, Research oriented
S2 - Scientific Track 2, LTU, Sweden – Atmospheric, Solar and Space Physics
The Second YearThe Second Year, Semester 4Master Thesis
Thesis work valued at a minimum of 30 ECTS during Semester 4 (and quite often part of Semester 3)
Thesis work at CU can be undertaken on campus, in association with UK Space industry (Astrium, Vega), at the RAL laboratory of the research councils or in collaboration with the Open University.
The Second YearThe Second Year, Master Thesis
Thesis work at CTU, HUT and JMUW can be performed
around the laboratories at the universities and/or in Space
related research projects with connection to the universities
The Second YearThe Second Year, Master Thesis, (2)
Thesis work at LTU can be performed around the excellent facilities in the Esrange Base in Lapland area, Kiruna, in close collaboration with the European Space Agency ESA and other Space Agencies. Thesis work will also be done at the Swedish Institute for Space Physics (IRF) located on Campus and at NEAT- the North European Test Range at Vidsel.
The Second YearThe Second Year, Master Thesis, (3)
The Second YearThe Second Year, Master Thesis, (4)Thesis work at UPS in France can be performed in Toulouse which benefits from a large support in industry and research institutions. For instance applied thesis could be realised in industries like ALCATEL SPACE or CNES (Centre National des Etudes Spatiales).
Research thesis could be realised in the laboratories belonging to Observatoire Midi Pyrénées.
The Second YearThe Second Year, Master Thesis, (5)
Some of the Thesis work will be integrated projects in tele-robotics, remote operation, sensor data fusion and automatic control where the participating students are located at different institutions in Europe and other non-EU countries.
The Second YearThe Second Year, Master Thesis, (6)
Some of the EU students Thesis work will be performed at one of the SpaceMaster Global Partnership universities in a non-European country
