In a significant development this spring, HE Space Operations, a major player in the European space sector, has extended a hand to SpaceBoard, providing us with valuable support and expertise.

An international company, with offices in the Netherlands (Noordwijk), Germany (Bremen, Darmstadt) and the USA (Houston), it is a significant manpower supplier to European space programmes bringing together more than 180 professionals from Europe and beyond with 30 nationalities. In 2014, HE Space won the German Corporate Social Responsibility Award for Gender Diversity.

We heartily welcome HE Space on board and look forward to a fruitful collaboration.

                            NewSpace - Is this the Advent of the Second Space Age?

                            Over the past few years, it has been becoming more and more difficult to not notice a promising upsurge in activities in the commercial space industry. The developments in the space sector seem to be experiencing a fundamental shift from heavy dependence on government agencies towards a more independent private sector with quite a few dominant players. Case in point, Elon Musk and the ground-breaking technologies developed by SpaceX or Richard Branson and the space tourism efforts of Virgin Galactic, are the front-runners of what is already being touted as the "Second Space Age". These names, among other developments in the commercial sector of the space industry, fit under the umbrella term of "NewSpace."

                            As a first in this venture of ours to help prospective space students make the best decisions about their future in the space industry, we bring to you European master’s courses, offered under European Commission’s Erasmus+ programme, that we’re sure will not only satisfy your thirst for space-tech knowledge, but also take you places, both literally and figuratively.

                            Why Networking is Crucial During Space Studies

                            We cannot overemphasise how important networking is throughout one’s professional career. Like many students, you might not think of the fact that having a solid network before finishing your studies can dramatically improve your knowledge about the field you are interested in, as well as increase your chances of landing the right internships and future full-time jobs. If you are pursuing space studies, here are a few ideas on how to start building your network right now.

                            The Unexpected Gifts of Space

                            Since times immemorial, there has been a huge hue and cry over the ostensibly large sums of money we spend on research and development in space technology with no apparent benefits to mankind. This, however, can’t be further away from the truth. We have seen, in the past five decades, that not only has the space industry itself grown in leaps and bounds, but it has also led to advancements in the vastly different fields of science that are associated with it.
