Why Enroll in the TAS ASTRO Advanced Master ?
Are you a professional or a student looking for a high-level, multidisciplinary education in space systems engineering and space project management?
Our Programme is for You!
Whether you are a recent graduate or an experienced professional, our programme is for you. The Advanced Master in Space Systems Engineering - TAS ASTRO, accredited by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles under no. 710, is a high-level, multidisciplinary course in space systems engineering and space project management.
The main objectives of TAS ASTRO are to train students in space systems engineering, to provide a multidisciplinary approach to designing and operating space systems, to deepen their knowledge and skills in the disciplines of engineering and GNC, mission analysis and space mechanics, thermal control, & to impart knowledge of space applications and space situational awareness.
Stéphanie Lizy-Destrez Head of the ProgrammeThe TAS ASTRO Advanced Master in Brief
The SEEDS Track
The international SEEDS (Space Exploration and Development Systems) programme is an optional six-month complementary project dedicated to the preliminary design of a robotic or crewed space exploration mission.
It is organised in three two-month phases at each of the partner universities: ISAE-SUPAERO (France), Politecnico di Torino (Italy), and University of Leicester (UK).
The students work on the same project throughout the programme with the support of academic and industrial experts, each bringing their own specific skills to tackle the issues addressed.
SEEDS is supported by several space agencies (ESA, CNES, ASI, and the UK Space Agency), as well as industrial partners such as Thales Alenia Space and ALTEC.
Conferences and visits from experts
The TAS ASTRO AM offers its students lectures on current challenges in the space sector such as:
- Reusable launchers
- Space debris
- Human exploration and robotics
- Environmental impact of space missions
and on fundamental disciplines like:
- Propulsion
- Structure and Materials
- Estimation and Filtering
- Controls
- Mission Analysis and Space Mechanics
The programme invites renowned academic and professional experts from space agencies and the space industry to give talks and share their enthusiasm for the space sector.
Promising Career Prospects
This course provides access to a wide range of careers in the space sector, whether in space agencies, research laboratories, or companies in the field, in France or abroad.
Graduates join large-scale projects linked to exploration, systems engineering, or technological innovation in careers such as:
🚀 Space programme architect
💡 Space systems design engineer
🔬 Space operations engineer
📊 Technical expert in specialised disciplines (telecommunications, thermal, control, propulsion, space mechanics, etc.).
Programme Objectives
The TAS ASTRO Advanced Master enables you to:
- Develop specific skills applied to the space sector: space systems engineering, and space project management,
- Acquire a high level of interdisciplinary knowledge relating to the technical, legal, and economic aspects of international space programmes.
My first piece of advice is to have already developed an enthusiasm for space, thanks to a MOOC, internships, or involvement in space-related associations. My second piece of advice is to dare to apply. The third is to apply as soon as possible!
Stéphanie Lizy-Destrez Head of the ProgrammeProgramme Advantages
Current
Lectures and presentations are given by permanent ISAE-SUPAERO professors and experts from research centres (ONERA), space agencies (CNES, ESA), and European aerospace companies (Thales Alenia Space, Airbus Defense & Space, ArianeGroup).
Multidisciplinary
Dive into space programme management and all the disciplines involved in the design and operation of space systems: satellites, launchers, and ground segments.
The SEEDS Track
The international SEEDS track combines research and academic projects at three universities: ISAE-SUPAERO, the Polytechnic of Turin (Italy), and the University of Leicester (England) over the course of a semester.
