Understanding the Issues via our Aviation and Climate Reference Framework

Can we characterise the impact of aviation on the climate? What are the aviation and climate issues? Can we compare CO2 and non-CO2 effects? What technological solutions are being studied to make aviation sustainable? Can we link the rate of growth in air traffic to the proportion of the carbon budget devoted to aviation? Can we assess the energy resources available?

AeroMAPS: an ISAE-SUPAERO reference tool for exploring the possible futures of aviation

The AeroMAPS tool, developed by two ISAE-SUPAERO researchers, Scott Delbecq and Thomas Planès, can be used to assess the environmental impacts of air transport and the effectiveness or limitations of levers to decarbonize the sector! Initially designed for research and training purposes, the tool is now a multidisciplinary, open-source platform, accessible to experts as well as institutional, industrial and associative decision-makers. Its development has been integrated into the work of the Institute for Sustainable Aviation (ISA), an interdisciplinary research institute headed by Laurent Joly, whose aim is to address the issue of #aviation's ecological transition in all its complexity. By playing on the sector's transition levers, AeroMAPS users can define the scenarios whose impacts they wish to analyze. For example, the introduction of new aircraft types, the use of new fuels or the rate of growth in air traffic. AeroMAPS is the first air transport scenario exploration platform built on an open-source scientific methodology. It was initially designed and developed to enable researchers to explore air transport transition scenarios in detail. It was then rapidly integrated into training programs: first in the ISAE-SUPAERO engineering curriculum, then in continuing education programs. To facilitate use of the tool, a partnership was formed with Sopra Steria. This major tech player built the platform's new web interface to enhance the user experience and make it accessible to decision-makers. Research work recently took on a socio-economic dimension with a PhD prepared by Antoine Salgas, in partnership with TBS Education. Antoine Salgas has also created a traffic and emissions inventory in collaboration with the Dutch Delft University of Technology. These two aspects of his thesis gave rise to an AeroMAPS “satellite” tool, called AeroSCOPE, which enables analyses to be partitioned and regionalized. Today, the comprehensive, multi-disciplinary aspect of AeroMAPS is a decision-making aid for the entire #aeronautics ecosystem. Through its scientific expertise, ISAE-SUPAERO contributes to the debate and to the future of aviation.

“Hydrogen is a breakthrough technology for decarbonizing aviation. Given its high energy content and its ability to propel aircraft without emitting carbon, it represents a key avenue that ISAE-SUPAERO has been exploring for several years.

Given South Korea’s technological lead in this field, the organization of a Franco-Korean workshop on hydrogen for aeronautics represents an opportunity to share best practice and the latest research into the use of hydrogen on board, particularly cryogenic hydrogen”.

Rather than being a forum for discussing the future of air transport, this scientific workshop aims to tackle the technological challenges associated with hydrogen propulsion, by giving the floor to those who are actually doing it, rather than those who are putting forward hypotheses or definitive opinions without any experimental proof.

This is why Korean speakers from the best industrial and research centres, as well as French speakers from the academic and industrial worlds, will come together to share their discoveries.

For ISAE-SUPAERO, committed to training our future engineers in environmentally-friendly techniques, this workshop is a springboard for strengthening our scientific exchanges with Korea and federating the French ecosystem committed to the decarbonization of aviation.

ISAE-SUPAERO hosts the first in-person Inter-Agency GNC V&V Workshop

Event Dates

On July 9–10, 2025, ISAE-SUPAERO had the honor of hosting the very first in-person edition of the Inter-Agency GNC V&V Workshop, bringing together more than 150 participants from academia, industry, and major international space agencies.

Organized under the guidance of ESA, CNES, NASA, DLR, ASI, ISAE-SUPAERO, and ONERA, the event marked a significant step forward in fostering dialogue and collaboration across the global space ecosystem. It aimed to address a core challenge of today’s missions: the Validation & Verification (V&V) of Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) systems — a field critical to the precision, reliability, and safety of space operations.

GNC : a cornerstone of spaceflight systems

GNC systems are essential to every stage of a mission. They enable a spacecraft to plan and follow its trajectory (Guidance), determine its position and velocity in space (Navigation) and stabilize and correct its motion as needed (Control).

Mastering GNC is fundamental to the design and execution of both crewed and autonomous missions, from orbital rendezvous to deep-space exploration.

Open debate
Poster session

Discover OSE inGÉ and take part in this innovative support program for CPGE students

OSE inGÉ in a nutshell

OSE inGÉ aims to promote student diversity (social, cultural, territorial and gender) in access to the Grandes Ecoles and the world of engineering. The scheme is aimed at female students and/or those on grants throughout their CPGE course, to help them build their plans for the future and develop their ambitions. It helps to combat self-censorship, build self-confidence and encourage the development of all potential and talent.

The commitments of the scheme

  • Support students throughout their CPGE years, right up to the competitive entrance exams
  • Guide them in developing their career plans and aspirations
  • Help them prepare for the oral exams
  • Help them to gain a better understanding of the world of the grandes écoles, scientific careers and the world of engineering
  • Encourage them to discover and exploit their full potential
  • Help them with the logistics of taking the orals

Key figures

In 2022-2023: 42 first-year CPGE science students from 3 Toulouse high schools and 42 alumni mentors!

In 2023-2024: 30 second-year CPGE students and 49 first-year CPGE students from 6 high schools in Toulouse, 76 alumni mentors!

In 2024-2025: 44 second-year CPGE students and 70 students from the Toulouse and Montpellier academies, nearly 100 alumni mentors!

In 2025-2026: 60 second-year CPGE students and 70 students from the Toulouse and Montpellier academies, nearly 120 alumni mentors!

Our goal by 2026: to have supported 250 students from the time they start CPGE to the time they pass their competitive entrance exams!

The programme

Tailor-made mentoring

Students receive personalised, one-to-one support from an alumni mentor, depending on their availability and needs. They are supported right up to the competitive entrance exams by an alumnus of one of the schools involved who, thanks to his or her experience, support and listening skills, helps them to answer their questions and confirm their choices. The mentors receive training from experts to provide the best possible support for CPGE students under this scheme.

Immersion courses on campus

During their 2 years of CPGE, students are welcomed on campus four times. These placements are an opportunity to :

  • discover the campuses of higher education establishments,
  • talk to former CPGE students and professionals with inspiring backgrounds,
  • meet their mentors
  • consolidate their knowledge and
  • learn how to manage their CPGE years more effectively.

One-off initiatives

Once a year, an evening meeting with professionals is organised at each partner school.

7 partner high schools for 2024-2025

For this new academic year, we are continuing our commitment by opening 70 places in 2025 to first-year CPGE students from 7 schools in the Toulouse and Montpellier academies:

  • Lycées Déodat de Séverac, Pierre de Fermat and Bellevue in Toulouse,
  • Lycées Théophile Gautier and Jean Dupuy in Tarbes,
  • Lycée Joffre in Montpellier,
  • Lycée Alfonse Daudet in Nîmes

In addition to OSE inGÉ, today OSE l’ISAE-SUPAERO also means every year: 1,100 secondary school pupils benefiting, 36 schools in the Toulouse and Montpellier academies, more than 120 ISAE-SUPAERO students volunteering, more than 2,500 secondary school pupils met, and numerous projects.

It was Supaero that gave me my wings. Giving these young people a chance and giving them a little extra motivation is the best thing we can do.

Discover our OSE InGÉ program

“OSE Intégrer une Grande École” with the OSE InGÉ program, ISAE-SUPAERO's student social opening program for scientific CPGE students, in partnership with the ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation, ENAC - Ecole Nationale de l'Aviation Civile and the ENAC Foundation. The OSE InGÉ program provides personalized support for young girls and scholarship-holders throughout their preparatory classes for the Grandes Ecoles (CPGE), helping them to build their future plans and develop their ambitions. The stakes are threefold: the democratization of education linked to profound rather than structural transformations, the strengthening of #social openness in the grandes écoles and the engineering field, and the creation of an innovative scheme on the scale of an Occitanie region. Begun in 2022, the program was brought to life thanks to the collaboration of the teaching teams at three Toulouse high schools: Lycée Bellevue, Lycée Déodat de Séverac and Lycée Pierre de Fermat, the mobilization of ISAE-SUPAERO alumni and the support of our partners: the Conseil Régional de La Région Occitanie / Pyrénées-Méditerranée, Airbus, Elior Group and CREPS de Toulouse. It consists of : - customized mentoring: personalized, one-to-one support from a mentor who is an alumnus of the school, depending on availability and needs. An ISAE-SUPAERO alumnus provides support right up to the competitive entrance exams, offering his or her experience, support and listening skills to help answer questions and reinforce choices; - immersion courses to discover the campus of a Grande École, talk to former CPGE students and professionals with inspiring backgrounds, meet your mentor, consolidate your knowledge and learn how to better manage your CPGE years; - one-off events at partner high schools: an #orientation evening, testimonials from professionals, conferences, dinner/debates, training for #CPGE teachers on how to support vulnerable students.

ISAE-SUPAERO awarded Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility (SD&CSR) label

The Institute has been awarded the label "Développement Durable et Responsabilité Sociétale" (DD&RS), official recognition of its environmental and societal strategy. By obtaining this label, our school confirms its determination to make the ecological and social transition a lever for innovation in training, the transformation of industrial sectors and the evolution of practices in everyday life on campus.

L'ISAE-SUPAERO obtient le label DD&RS

Engagée de longue date dans la transition environnementale et sociétale, l’ISAE-SUPAERO rejoint le cercle des grandes écoles d’ingénieurs reconnues par le label DD&RS. Une distinction qui vient couronner plusieurs années d’initiatives structurantes en matière de développement durable et de responsabilité sociétale.

Le label, qui comporte plusieurs niveaux de maturité, évalue la démarche des établissements sur cinq grands axes : gouvernance, formation, recherche, gestion environnementale et politique sociale. Ce cadre d’analyse systémique couvre l’ensemble des 17 Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD) définis par l’ONU.

Administré par le CIRSES, le label permet aux établissements engagés d’intégrer une dynamique d’amélioration continue de mutualiser les bonnes pratiques et de valoriser leurs actions à l’échelle nationale. L’ISAE-SUPAERO rejoint ainsi une communauté d’une cinquantaine d’établissements labellisés.

Pour l’ISAE‑SUPAERO, il récompense une trajectoire cohérente et ambitieuse, amorcée avec la feuille de route « Horizons » ainsi que ses engagements en matière d’inclusion, diversité et d’ouverture sociale.

Logo Label DD&RS vertical

Une démarche structurée autour de la feuille de route « Horizons »

L’obtention du label s’inscrit dans la continuité du déploiement de la feuille de route « Horizons », initiée en 2021. Ce document cadre fixait les priorités de l’Institut en matière de transition écologique, qu’il s’agisse de son offre de formation, de sa recherche, de ses pratiques administratives ou de la gestion de son patrimoine. Un groupe de travail multidisciplinaire, mobilisant personnels, enseignants-chercheurs et étudiants, a été chargé du pilotage de la démarche et de la constitution du dossier de labellisation.

L’établissement s’est notamment engagé à renforcer l’intégration des enjeux environnementaux dans les cursus de ses formations, à faire évoluer les critères de soutenabilité dans ses projets de recherche et à réduire son empreinte carbone.

« Ce label acte l’engagement collectif de l’Institut — étudiants, enseignants, chercheurs, personnels — à intégrer les enjeux de durabilité dans toutes nos activités, au sein de notre campus et autour des trois piliers de notre organisation : la formation, la recherche et l’innovation. Cette démarche globale DD&RS nous permet de mettre en avant nos actions, de les poursuivre et de les renforcer, pour progresser sur tous les axes, car c’est un projet d’amélioration continue  », déclare Emilie Tota, Directrice adjointe, en charge de la politique de développement durable et sociétale de l’Institut.

Des actions concrètes dans les programmes de formation et sur le campus

Côté formation, notre Institut a structuré une offre avec notamment une refonte complète de sa formation ingénieur pour répondre pleinement à ces enjeux. Intégration d’enseignements en ingénierie environnementale, analyse du cycle de vie, éco-conception, modélisation énergétique : nos parcours intègrent les dimensions sociétales et environnementales pour une ingénierie responsable, engagée et durable.

En parallèle, de nombreux travaux de recherche s’intègrent dans la matrice DD&RS avec des projets liés à la décarbonation tels que le Référentiel Aviation Climat, AéroMAPS, le projet Mermoz, Genhyo, la recherche en Multidisciplinary design optimization – MDO, etc.). L’ISAE-SUPAERO développe également des partenariats de recherche avec des industriels majeurs, tels qu’Airbus via la chaire CEDAR, Daher à travers la chaire ISAAR, et Thales avec la chaire ODYCéE, tous centrés sur les enjeux de la transition écologique et l’innovation technologique. Ces collaborations soutiennent une recherche appliquée visant à réduire l’empreinte carbone et à renforcer la durabilité dans le secteur aéronautique, en répondant aux défis techniques et environnementaux actuels.

Sur le campus, une politique active a été mise en œuvre : audit et rénovation énergétique des bâtiments, rationalisation des mobilités quotidiennes, développement de dispositifs de sensibilisation internes (fresques, ateliers, formation des primo-entrants). Gestion des déchets et alimentation durables accompagnent également ces actions.

Campus ISAE-SUPAERO - 17/11/2023

Un engagement sociétal affirmé

Parallèlement à sa stratégie durable, l’ISAE SUPAERO poursuit son engagement social à travers le programme OSE l’ISAE‑SUPAERO, initié en 2006. Ce dispositif d’ouverture sociale — labellisé « Cordées de la Réussite » — mobilise chaque année environ 150 étudiants bénévoles pour accompagner plus de 1 100 collégiens et lycéens issus de quartiers prioritaires ou de zones rurales. Le tutorat hebdomadaire, les ateliers scientifiques, techniques et sportifs, ainsi que les journées d’immersion visent à favoriser l’orientation scolaire, renforcer les vocations scientifiques, promouvoir les carrières scientifiques auprès des jeunes filles, et soutenir la réussite des élèves en situation de handicap. Depuis 2022, le dispositif OSE InGÉ étend cet accompagnement aux élèves de classes préparatoires, avec un mentorat individuel assuré par des alumni, stages d’immersion et soutien méthodologique pour près de 91 étudiant·es, majoritairement des femmes et des élèves boursiers.

 

L’ISAE‑SUPAERO conduit par ailleurs une politique de tolérance zéro en matière de harcèlement, de discrimination et de violences sexistes et sexuelles (HDVS), s’appuyant sur une démarche exigeante de prévention et de traitement des actes de HDVS. Depuis 2019, un plan dédié encadre des actions de sensibilisation auprès des personnels et des apprenants. Il prévoit également un dispositif de signalement, ainsi qu’un accompagnement fondé sur l’écoute active des victimes et des témoins.

L’Institut déploie en parallèle une politique soutenue en faveur de l’égalité femmes-hommes, portée par des référents et des actions structurantes.

Il affirme également son engagement en matière d’inclusion des personnes en situation de handicap à travers, entre autres, une charte et une convention contribuant à l’accompagnement des apprenants dans leurs études et leur insertion professionnelle et la compensation de la situation de handicap au travail des personnels.  

Un positionnement en cohérence avec les évolutions du secteur aéronautique

Dans un contexte de mutation accélérée de l’industrie aéronautique, la labellisation DD&RS vient consolider le positionnement de l’ISAE‑SUPAERO. En tant qu’acteur de référence dans la formation des ingénieurs du secteur, l’établissement entend conjuguer exigence scientifique et responsabilité environnementale et sociétale.

Le label DD&RS, constitue à la fois une reconnaissance institutionnelle et un cadre d’amélioration continue.

AeroMAPS: an ISAE-SUPAERO reference tool for exploring the possible futures of aviation

The AeroMAPS tool, developed by two ISAE-SUPAERO researchers, Scott Delbecq and Thomas Planès, can be used to assess the environmental impacts of air transport and the effectiveness or limitations of levers to decarbonize the sector! Initially designed for research and training purposes, the tool is now a multidisciplinary, open-source platform, accessible to experts as well as institutional, industrial and associative decision-makers. Its development has been integrated into the work of the Institute for Sustainable Aviation (ISA), an interdisciplinary research institute headed by Laurent Joly, whose aim is to address the issue of #aviation's ecological transition in all its complexity. By playing on the sector's transition levers, AeroMAPS users can define the scenarios whose impacts they wish to analyze. For example, the introduction of new aircraft types, the use of new fuels or the rate of growth in air traffic. AeroMAPS is the first air transport scenario exploration platform built on an open-source scientific methodology. It was initially designed and developed to enable researchers to explore air transport transition scenarios in detail. It was then rapidly integrated into training programs: first in the ISAE-SUPAERO engineering curriculum, then in continuing education programs. To facilitate use of the tool, a partnership was formed with Sopra Steria. This major tech player built the platform's new web interface to enhance the user experience and make it accessible to decision-makers. Research work recently took on a socio-economic dimension with a PhD prepared by Antoine Salgas, in partnership with TBS Education. Antoine Salgas has also created a traffic and emissions inventory in collaboration with the Dutch Delft University of Technology. These two aspects of his thesis gave rise to an AeroMAPS “satellite” tool, called AeroSCOPE, which enables analyses to be partitioned and regionalized. Today, the comprehensive, multi-disciplinary aspect of AeroMAPS is a decision-making aid for the entire #aeronautics ecosystem. Through its scientific expertise, ISAE-SUPAERO contributes to the debate and to the future of aviation.

“This collaboration with the ITA and the institutions of São Paulo is an essential lever for developing innovative projects in key areas such as artificial intelligence applied to aeronautics, sustainability and new technologies. It offers our students and researchers invaluable opportunities to become fully involved in the challenges of tomorrow’s aerospace sector”.

This renewal brings with it a number of important commitments:

  • For students, it guarantees an expansion of exchange programmes, with a desire to further enrich exchanges between France and Brazil.
  • For researchers, it means greater openness to innovative collaborative projects, particularly in areas of the future such as artificial intelligence applied to aeronautics, environmental sustainability and new materials.
  • For ISAE-SUPAERO, it is an additional lever to strengthen its international attractiveness and confirm its major role in training engineers capable of meeting the challenges of the sector.

For more than twenty years, ISAE-SUPAERO and ITA have been developing joint programmes, in particular the BRAFITEC double degree, which enables students to acquire unique international and bicultural expertise. This renewal bears witness to the vitality and relevance of this cooperation in a global context marked by major technological and environmental challenges.

This cooperation is also part of a strong scientific dynamic between France and the State of São Paulo, with almost 10,000 joint publications in six years, demonstrating effective international synergy.

” Scientific and technological cooperation between the two regions is strong and growing. Over the last six years, French and Paulo researchers have jointly published 9,800 scientific articles, which represents 52% of all articles published as part of international collaborations during this period “, emphasised Marco Antonio Zago, President of the FAPESP.

The renewal of the agreements illustrates the strength of this transatlantic scientific cooperation, which continues to develop and diversify. It also testifies to the commitment and common vision shared by the participants in FAPESP Week France 2025, including Marco Antonio Zago, President of FAPESP, Marie-Hélène Baroux, Director General of ISAE-SUPAERO, Vahan Agopyan, Secretary for Science, Technology and Innovation of the State of São Paulo, and Odile Rauzy, Rector of Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier University, who summed up the challenge: ” Together, moving in the same direction, we will be stronger at a crucial time for science “.

An Illustrated History of our School

Hisis will enable you to follow the many transformations that the ISAE-SUPAERO engineering school has undergone. ISAE-SUPAERO was created in October 2007 from the merger of two engineering schools in Toulouse, the École Nationale Supérieure d'Ingénieurs de Constructions Aéronautiques (ENSICA) and the École Nationale Supérieure de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace (SUPAERO), both under the supervision of the French Ministry of Defence.

  • Year of your Advanced Master®: 2024-2025
  • Name of Advanced Master®: IEM – Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Management

His career before ISAE-SUPAERO

What was your academic background before joining ISAE-SUPAERO?

I studied at the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, where I obtained a bachelor’s degree in physics and chemistry in 2006, followed by a master’s degree in ‘Materials, technology and components’ in 2008, in partnership with the CEA and the University of Paris-Saclay. This multidisciplinary training gave me a solid grounding in engineering sciences applied to industry and innovative technologies.

Did you already have professional experience before the Advanced Master®?

Yes. I wanted to join the army and I passed an officer’s competitive examination to join the French Army. I did a year’s training at the École spéciale militaire in Saint-Cyr, followed by a year at the École du génie in Angers.

I was posted to the 17th Parachute Engineer Regiment(17e RGP) in Montauban, where I served for 4 years as an engineer combat section leader (rank of lieutenant).

I then joined the initial training centre for non-commissioned members of the 11th parachute brigade, as assistant officer, then unit commander (rank of captain), training more than 300 recruits a year. I was again transferred to the 17th RGP where I held various positions at the regimental headquarters (rank of commander): deputy to the head of operations, head of the administrative and budget section, then head of the training office.

Why did you choose ISAE-SUPAERO for your Advanced Master®?

In 2023, I passed the internal competitive examination for the Army’s technical diploma, which led to me being posted to the Centre d’Enseignement Militaire Supérieur Terre (CEMS-T) for high-level training within the Enseignement Militaire Supérieur Scientifique et Technique (EMSST). As part of this, I chose to do the IEM Advanced Master® at ISAE-SUPAERO to learn about project management, innovation and emerging technologies, directly related to my future job in the army’s technical section, in charge of armament programmes.

How did you hear about our Advanced Master® programme?

Army officers are regularly enrolled at ISAE-SUPAERO via the EMSST (MS APM, SPAPS and IEVEx in particular).

His career at ISAE-SUPAERO

What specific skills or knowledge have you come to acquire in this programme?

The Advanced Master® enabled me to acquire a complete vision of entrepreneurship: from identifying the problem to turning a solution into reality, through ideation, field surveys, prototyping and the strategy for bringing a product to market. I was also able to deepen my understanding of business innovation and familiarise myself with the latest technologies (AI, hydrogen, 3D printing, etc.). The courses in project management, management, marketing, finance and communication will be invaluable to me in interacting with the defence industry in my future role.

What subjects, projects, challenges or experiences have particularly impressed you during your training?

The most memorable project was undoubtedly the PIE Project, the common thread running through the AM. In teams of 3 or 4 students, we followed the entire entrepreneurial process: Identifying a problem, Field surveys, Ideation, Definition of a business model, Marketing strategy, Prototyping, etc. This applied project synthesises all the skills acquired during the AM programme. We also had the opportunity to take it further as part of our work placement, when we joined ISAE-SUPAERO’s InnovSpace to incubate our start-up. An academic project that became a reality!

In your opinion, what are the main advantages of the programme that you have followed?

The strengths of this Master’s programme are numerous: lecturers from the biggest industrial groups (Airbus, Thales, Safran, CEA, etc.), a wealth of content covering innovation, finance, strategy, technology, entrepreneurship – intrapreneurship and cutting-edge technical resources (InnovSpace, Aérothèque). All this in a demanding and stimulating academic environment, with personalised coaching sessions with experts in the development of our PIE project. Academic excellence and a wide variety of courses are key features of this AM.

How would you describe student life at ISAE-SUPAERO?

The campus is pleasant and well served (bus, bike, car). It offers excellent sports facilities (swimming pool, weight room) and a dynamic student life, punctuated by numerous events (conferences, activities, etc.). The career centre also offers a wide range of events for students.

His career plan

What are your career plans?

As a career officer, I am continuing my commitment to the army’s technical section, which is responsible for armaments programmes, working with the DGA and DTIB manufacturers.

How will your Advanced Master® prepare you to achieve these goals?

The programme enabled me to acquire a solid understanding of the industrial and entrepreneurial world and its project management, innovation and decision-making logics. This will be a real asset when it comes to communicating effectively with our industrial partners on future projects.

His advice

What would you say to a future student who is hesitating about joining an ISAE-SUPAERO Advanced Master®?

Joining an Advanced Master® at ISAE-SUPAERO is much more than acquiring new skills: It is living a rich, stimulating and concrete human and intellectual experience. Whether you come from the professional world or are a student, you will find here a demanding training programme, but also a real springboard for developing your career. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone: You’ll grow from it.

Any advice for a successful Advanced Master® at ISAE-SUPAERO?

Give it your all, don’t be afraid to try, to fail, and then bounce back! It’s through experimentation that you learn the most, especially about yourself. It’s a great way of discovering so many things, and maybe even discovering that you have the soul of an entrepreneur!

“This programme was a bridge between my operational military culture and the world of technological innovation and business.

If you had to sum up your experience in one word, three adjectives or one sentence?

A particularly rewarding experience, from a technical, professional and human point of view.

3 questions to Marie Delaroche, 3ᵉ year student and MDRS 293 crew commander

Since February 18, seven ISAE-SUPAERO engineering students have been living a simulated Martian life and carrying out experiments in collaboration with CNES and several research laboratories at The Mars Society's Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in UTAH (USA)! For the second time, the mission is led by a woman: Marie Delaroche, a passionate #spaceexplorer, who was already part of crew 275 departing in 2023. We asked her 3 questions to find out more about the challenges of this mission and her feelings as #flightcommander! Alongside her, three young women and three young men in their 2ᵉ year of #engineering studies have taken on the roles of astronomer, scientist, botanist, journalist, health worker and onboard engineer. They are all members of the Mars Club ISAE-SUPAERO, a student association for the popularization of science focused on the Red Planet and the missions dedicated to its exploration and study. They are currently experimenting with AI4U, the artificial intelligence that assists astronauts in their daily tasks (environmental measurements, voice recognition, emergency exercises). They are also conducting a science popularization experiment in collaboration with secondary school pupils. Inspired by the film The Martian, in which an astronaut grows potatoes on the Red Planet, the aim of this experiment is to compare plant growth in Martian soil with growth in terrestrial soil!
