Each year, two rockets and two balloons are
released into the outer space as part of the REXUS/BEXUS project. On board, it
is possible to carry out ca. 20 experiments. A competition for students for the
proposals of the experiments has been launched.
Applications
for the competition can be sent by student teams from 29 member countries of
the European Space Agency (ESA) or associate countries. The deadline is 13th
October 2014.
Members of
the teams should be between 18 and 32 years old and be full-time students or
doctoral students of fields related to the subject of the programme.
As the Nauka w Polsce
portal informs, the organizers will choose the
15 best proposals and their authors will be invited for workshops that will be
held at the beginning of December. An expert panel will pick a maximum of 10
teams that will join 10 teams from Germany that will win a separate competition
in that country.
