EURO SPACE CENTRE

The girls have had a busy few days at the Euro Space Centre.

In white lab coats the girls were "building a satellite" using microcontrollers and digital sensors connected with WiFi modules. The exciting climbing wall was a microgravity simulator where the girls had to repair a satellite by adding solar panels and repairing or replacing damaged circuitry whilst experiencing zero gravity.

Other activities included a three-axis rotation simulator, a remotecontrol rover task on the Mars surface and a big space mission simulation where the girls took on specific roles in mission control as well as pilot and mission commander in a shuttle simulator.
