Curious about CubeSats? Join the CubeSat Hands-On Training Week 2026


University students performing tests on a partially-configured ESAT

Have you ever dreamed of implementing your own CubeSat mission but did not know where to start? Have you ever imagined being part of a mission operating a CubeSat in orbit?

ESA’s Education Office is inviting university students to apply for the CubeSat Hands-On Training Week 2026. This event offers a rare chance to strengthen both theoretical understanding and practical skills related to spacecraft hardware and software. The Training Week will be held from 8 to 12 June at ESA Academy’s Training and Learning Facility in ESEC-Galaxia, Transinne, Belgium.
