COSPAR Capacity Building Workshop: Principles and Practices of Nano-satellite Engineering, 28-31 October 2019, Tel Aviv, Israel

摘要

The workshop took place in the Tel Aviv University (TAU) from 28-31 October 2019. It preceded the 4th COSPAR Symposium on "Small Satellites for Sustainable Science and Development", which took place in Herzliya close to Tel Aviv, in the following week 4-8 November. Primarily organized by COSPAR, it received support from the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), the Tel Aviv University (TAU) and the Herzliya Data Center. The workshop was proposed and locally organised by Prof. Colin Price (TAU) and Meir Ariel (Herzliya Science Center). The main objective of the workshop was to introduce young scientists and engineers to the systematic approach on small satellites, cubesats, and space applications, as well as to motivate young students to work on them. Close and extensive contact with experts in the field is the best way to motivate students to develop skills in this direction.
