Specialization
space systems

The Space Systems major offers advanced training in launch vehicle design, satellite prototyping and space communications technologies.

Courses and projects in the Space Systems major enable students at our School of Aeronautics and Space to acquire solid skills in space mechanics, electric and plasma propulsion, and plasma physics.

The Space Systems major is characterized by an in-depth approach to artificial intelligence and systems modeling, aimed at optimizing the design, control and autonomy of complex space devices.

In 4th year, students spend a semester in one of the +120 partner universities to deepen their knowledge of space engineering and mission design.

IPSA has worked closely with aerospace manufacturers to adapt the courses in this major to the requirements of the sector, making Ipsalians engineers of excellence recognized by companies.

To meet the zero-carbon target for 2050 set by the European Union and the aeronautics industry, IPSA has integrated modules dedicated to new sustainable mobility and emerging societal issues into each of its majors.

Courses in the Space Systems major are taught in English, to better grasp the international dimension of the sector.

To round off their studies, which are punctuated by numerous internships, 5th year students at our aerospace school complete a 6-month internship in a company or research laboratory, enabling them to enter the world of work. This internship usually leads to a permanent job offer.
