The first eight graduates of the SpaceTech master programme with their self-developed moon rover.
The eight graduates of the part-time master's programme all come from the aerospace sector. As part of the programme they developed lunar vehicles for the ESA Moon Village. As part of a practical project, ESA - the European Space Agency - invited the SpaceTech students to imagine themselves as a virtual aerospace start-up and come up with a commercially viable moon project. The result is LUNATIX, a concept featuring one larger and five smaller moon rovers that drive, but can also jump surprisingly far. Just the right proposal to make them interesting for the vision of the ESA Moon Village. ESA even chose one picture of the lunar vehicle as its photograph of the week. The first SpaceTec graduation took place yesterday, Tuesday 19 September, in the auditorium at TU Graz - a fitting setting for the eight graduates to celebrate their joint success as well as the completion of the English-language master programme "SpaceTec - Master of Engineering in Space Systems and Business Engineering".
