ESA is once again organising a training workshop for science teachers in association with the Galileo Teacher Training Programme (GTTP). The sixth in a series of training workshops, the ESA/GTTP Teacher Training Workshop will be held at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, between 23 and 27 November, 2015. The deadline for receipt of applications is 09:00 CEST on 21 September 2015.
What to expect?
Participants at this workshop will have the chance to explore innovative ways to use space science and astronomy in the classroom to engage students in the sciences. Teachers attending will be presented with a diverse workshop programme consisting of practical sessions, and lectures from ESA experts. Cosmic light will be one of the main topics this year in celebration of the International Year of Light. Participants will also find out more about ESA Education activities and resources, as well as the latest from ESA space science and astronomy missions. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to network with their peers from across Europe.

Space - Event - 2015/06/06 Invitation to discover the IXV spacecraft

Forwarded message - From: Vincent Jacobs <vincent.jacobs.tipsy@gmail.com>

VON KARMAN INSTITUTE FOR FLUID DYNAMICS
Découvrez la navette spatiale IXV Ontdek de IXV ruimetaxi
Ontdek de IXV ruimetaxi Op zaterdag 6 juni 2015 van 10 tot 16 uur, opent het von Karman Instituut voor stromingsdynamica (VKI) zijn deuren om jullie kennis laten maken met het ruimtevaartuig IXV (Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle). Qinetiq Space en Sabca, de twee andere Belgische partners van deze missie, zullen ook hun activiteiten voorstellen. De IXV werd voor het eerst door ESA gelanceerd in februari 2015. De vlucht was een volledig succes. Het ruimtetuig volgde een sub-orbitale baan, maakte een probleemloze terugkeer in de atmosfeer en kwam na een vlucht van 100 minuten terecht in de zuidelijke Stille Oceaan ten westen van de Galapagos eilanden. De doelstelling van de IXV is het ontwikkelen van een autonome Europese mogelijkheid tot toekomstig herbruikbaar ruimtetransport. Drie Belgische partners droegen actief bij tot het succes van deze missie: VKI, QinetiQ Space en SABCA. Kinderen vanaf 8 jaar kunnen deelnemen aan allerhande experimenten. Vrije toegang. Rondleidingen worden gegeven in het Nederlands, Frans of Engels. Adres: Waterloosesteeenweg 72 Sint-Genesius-Rode Tel.:+32 2 359 96 04	Découvrez la navette spatiale IXV Ce 6 juin 2015 de 10:00h à 16h00, L'Institut von Karman de Dynamique des Fluides (VKI) vous ouvre ses portes et vous invite à découvrir la navette spatiale IXV et les laboratoires impliqués dans le programme spatial. QinetiQ Space et la SABCA, les deux autres partenaires belges de la mission IXV, vous présenteront également leurs activités. En février dernier, l'ESA a lancé avec succès le véhicule intermédiaire expérimental (IXV). Après une centaine de minutes de vol, l'IXV a opéré sa réentrée et a amerri dans l'Océan Pacifique à l'ouest des îles Galépagos, avec à son bord de nombreuses données analysables. Cette mission spatiale vise à développer une capacité européenne de réentrée autonome pour un futur transport spatial réutilisable. Trois partenaires belges ont largement contribué au succès de ce projet: la SABCA, QinetiQ Space et le VKI. Les enfants, à partir de 8 ans, pourront participer à de nombreuses expériences. Les visites de laboratoire se feront en néerlandais, en français et en anglais. Entrée libre. Adresse: 72, Chaussée de Waterloo B-1640 Rhode-St-Genèse Tel.: +32 2 359 96 04
