The TRACE student team from TU Darmstadt University, Germany, has been selected for the October 2025 test window of ESA’s Fly Your Satellite! Test Opportunities programme. This selection follows a call for proposals that closed in June 2025, with evaluations conducted by Fly Your Satellite! experts and operators from the CubeSat Support Facility. This marks the beginning of an exciting journey for TRACE students, who will gain hands-on experience in environmental testing and prepare to test their satellite at ESA facilities.
