The Caussade high school students had their heads in the stars

This outing allowed them to meet professionals who presented them with professions and training paths to access them, including two engineers from the Kinéis group whose mission is to manufacture satellites that enable spatial connectivity for man and his environment. .

A presentation of the Thalès Group and the different paths (general or technological path to access scientific professions) was made to them. They were able to make a keychain with materials used in satellites. Then, they followed a conference entitled “Space, being an actor of change”, with Erwan Le Ho, responsible for sustainable transformation.

Space has multiple applications, even in everyday life. It allows you to position yourself and connect, observe or even explore. It therefore constitutes an important tool to contribute to the transformation of our societies towards a more sustainable world. We first think of the observation of our planet, essential in understanding climate change, but it goes beyond this, in particular to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

But space also generates environmental impacts, on earth and in space, and it is necessary to take these impacts into account in the design of our systems of tomorrow to build sustainable space.

What if this time the astronaut was you?

Then, thanks to the LuneXplorer experiment, the students experienced the stages of a mission to the Moon. They sat aboard a capsule and felt the accelerations and decelerations of such a journey like astronauts on a mission.
This busy day ended with a free tour of the Cité de l’espace.

To complete this great day, students from the Mars club at Isae-Supaéro came to do an event on space with different space objects and presentations of different professions. The students then stayed to present this same animation to the final 5 students.
