Though my major is mechanical engineering, I'm interested in aerospace engineering. Expect CLTP, I have never heard there was an opportunity to study satellites from scratch. I wanted to absorb great many things about satellites and decided to make an application.
Feedback from CLTP program
To creating practical but not easy mission was hard. Of course, you can't say a mission which looks good on paper is worth a try. In CLTP, there was a chance to test whether a mission would work or not. I was motivated because I wanted to succeed in the test. After CLTP, I really felt like studying satellites more.
Vision for the future
I hope Hepta-Sat become popular as a space educational training. If given the chance, I want to join in the future CLTP program in some way.
Message for future CLTP participants
If you dither over whether you should take part in CLTP or not, I highly recommend to fill in the application form. CLTP will bring you wonderful experience. That experience can become a life-changing event for you.
