Bachelor and master students have to realize semester projects related to their field of specialization. These projects can be conducted within initiatives such as Asclepios, that is why we offer students from EPFL or sometimes Unil with the possibility to earn ECTS credits while working on space related projects.
The list below presents the currently open positions. Note that for some projects, the supervising laboratory is still to be determined (TBD), and the student will have to work with Asclepios to find a supervisor.
If you are interested in a project, we advise you to download the detailed project sheet to read additional information. If non of these are of interest for you but you have an idea for a semester/Master thesis project, please contact us and we will make it happen !
Do not hesitate to contact us by filling the contact form if you are interested.
Here is the list of the projects available :
– Airlock
PROJECTS FOR THIS SEMESTER
Airlock
This semester project aims at developing an airlock for the base used by the astronauts during the mission.
Laboratory: CCLab
Number of students: 1
Section: ENAC
Status: Available
Semester: Spring 2023
Base Design
This semester project aims at designing a 3D model for the base used by the astronauts during the mission, from a predefined base in Sasso San Gottardo.
Laboratory: GCM
Number of students: 1
Section: GGC, SIE
Status: Available
