The Programme of the School is composed by:
Lectures
They are of about 1 hour each. The structure of the course and the content of the Lectures are prepared in order to offer to the student a logical flow of information moving from Applications, to Instruments, to Technologies and closing with the Qualification Aspects. The preliminary program is shown below.
The ISSO 2021 lecturers work either in the European Space Agency - ESA, in the French Space Agency - CNES or in Academia and have an extensive experience in the various discipline of Space Optics. Most of them have also lectured in previous ISSO's.
Exercises
At the end of each lecture day a relevant exercise will be performed to allow the students to verify what they learned during the lectures. The students, guided by a moderator, will go through the process of the exercise which typically is designing a spaceborne optical instrument. This process is indicative of the type of work performed by an optical engineer working in an industrial/academic space project.
Visits to Facilities
The visits to facilities are an integral part of the School Curriculum allowing the students to “believe through seeing” real facilities that relate directly to the use of optics either at laboratory level or at spacecraft level. For information regarding the visits to the facilities please visit the "VISITS" section of the website.
Upon conclusion of the School a Certificate of Attendance will be issued to the participants who have attended the complete course and industrial visits.
