Objectives
The objective of this new Joint European Master inSpace Science and Technology is to combine the great diversity of space expertiseat six European universities to a common platform of competence within theguidelines of the Bologna process. European and Third-country good quality students will inthe framework of SpaceMaster have the possibility to study space science atexcellent universities in Europe in a research oriented environment.
SpaceMaster will bring together as a coregroup students from the whole world to share the existing space competence, todevelop it together and distribute it to benefit the European space industryand research community.

Structure of SpaceMaster
SpaceMaster is a four semesters Master Course, 120 ECTS. The first year iscommon for all students.
The students will get cross-disciplinaryextension from concrete situations such as balloon, rocket, satellite and radarcontrol, tele robotics, sensor data fusion, automatic control and multi-bodydynamics.
The Course leads to two officially recognisedM.Sc. degrees issued by the home and one partner university.
Semester 1:Introductory space related modules at JMUW in close collaboration with EuropeanSpace Industry
Semester 2: Space related modules at Kiruna Space Campus/Sweden
Semester 3: Engineering/Science specialisation related to localexpertise
Semester 4: Masters Thesis administrated by academics from minimum twouniversities
The second year (Semester 3-4) is dividedin five engineering and three scientific tracks following the competence of thepartners:
- Structural dynamics and control at CU
- Space Automation and Control at CTU
- Space robotics at JMUW or HUT
- Space Technology and Instrumentation at LTU
- Space, Atmospheric and Solar physics at LTU
- Space physics, Astrophysics, Planetology, Spatial techniques and instrumentation at UPS
Tuition fees for SpaceMaster
Tuition fees for the first year will preliminary be 5 000 Euros and for theSecond year 5 000 Euros
