The mission of UARX is \u201cto provide in-space transportation services to non-traditional destinations, from Low Earth Orbit to the moon and deep space.\u201d\u00a0 With the help of SOLIDWORKS<\/a> design software and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform by DASSAULT SYSTEMES, over 200 students from Spain are participating in Europe to Space\u00a0 (EU2Space) Student Challenge supporting Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) initiatives.\u00a0 Already 27 Spanish Universities have joined this exciting challenge and the project keeps growing..<\/p>\n Europe to Space is an ambitious challenge aiming at helping university students build their skills for their future professional lives, and get the chance to send a satellite to space. Through this initiative, the group of private companies from Spain, which is leading the challenge, is looking at retaining talent in the fascinating space sector, and promote STEM disciplines.\u00a0 More information can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The students participate in a project to send a small satellite to space, without requiring them to pursue a degree or a master in aerospace. The phases of the project goes from the mission concept, development of flight components, integration and test of a functional satellite, up to the launch campaign and following operations, so it requires students from several fields (Mechanics, Electrical & Electronics, Software, Telecommunications, Chemical, Thermal, Computers).\u00a0 This is a fantastic opportunity, because teams will learn how to manage a project from the very start to its end, collaborating remotely with their teammates. It ends up being a very immersive professional experience, because when students graduate and work in industry, they\u2019ll constantly be interacting with other people to get the most out of their mission in the company.<\/p>\n The satellites are designed, produced, and tested complying with the highest standards of the space industry, allowing the participants to gain valuable knowledge and knowhow they will then use in their professional lives.<\/p>\n The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is a technology and business innovation platform where students can collaborate and communicate their design ideas to each other and their mentors.\u00a0 The cloud based design apps, xDesign and xShape allow students to create anytime, anywhere and on any device.\u00a0 Students can also connect their SOLIDWORKS design information to the platform and platform data back to SOLIDWORKS.<\/p>\n My colleague Melody Gasne is an integral part of this advisor\u2019s panel along with mentors Andr\u00e9s Villa, CTO of UARX, Eduardo Alonso from HYDRA Space, F\u00e9lix P\u00e1ez from AMSAT-EA, and Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Fanti\u00f1o of the Xunta de Galicia.<\/p>\n To design in-space transportation, you need the latest technology from SOLIDWORKS and DASSAULT SYSTEMES.\u00a0 We are proud to be a sponsor of UARX EU2Space\u00a0 Challenge.<\/p>\n Thank you Andres for sharing with the SOLIDWORKS Community. \u00a0Thank you, SOLIDWORKS reseller\u00a0 Easyworks.es<\/a> for supporting this challenge and our students.<\/p>\n Be well,\u00a0 Marie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The mission of UARX is \u201cto provide in-space transportation services to non-traditional destinations, from Low Earth Orbit to the moon and deep space.\u201d\u00a0 With the help of SOLIDWORKS design software and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform by DASSAULT SYSTEMES, over 200 students<\/p>\n...
