The 5th Symposium on Space Educational Activities (SSEA), held in Munich, brought together a wide community of students, space professionals and enthusiasts, and among them, a very special group: the teams participating in the third and fourth cycles of ESA’s Fly Your Satellite! programme, who gathered at a dedicated Fly Your Satellite! event. The aim was to foster collaboration and knowledge transfer, creating an environment where teams could share their status and challenges with one another.
