Student perspective and lessons learned from participating in ESA ESEO mission

In this paper we would like to present what we have learntby participating in the ESA’s European Student Earth Orbiter (ESEO) mission which isan educational satellite program. We gained hands-on experience by manufacturing, adjusting and testing the components of the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) subsystem and the Langmuir Probe experiment (LMP). ESA provided the opportunity to participate in courses organized by ESA Academy. At the lastphase of the preparation we visited Sitael S.p.A. in Forli for the final testing of our modulesbefore assembly, where we could work together with Sitael’s experts in a space industry gradeenvironment. The Assembly Integration and Testing (AIT) workshop in ESTEC providedgreat educational value for all of the LMP and PDU team members.
