Mastère Spécialisé® APM 2024 alumni
Identity card
- Full name: Marie Lambert
- Nationality: French
- Country of residence: Sweden
- Position, company: Project Manager & Flight Director, SSC – Swedish Space Corporation
- Sector: Space
- Education received at ISAE-SUPAERO: Mastère Spécialisé® Aerospace Project Management (APM)
- Graduation year: 2024 (initially class of 2023, graduation postponed by one year with agreement from ISAE-SUPAERO to take part in the Space Studies Program at the International Space University)
Can you tell us about your background?
My high school years were marked by the European probe Rosetta and the first mission of astronaut Thomas Pesquet. My passion for space was revealed through these technical and human adventures, which unite people around a dream that can only be achieved through determination (and a lot of hard work!).
After graduating in aerospace engineering from IPSA and spending several periods abroad during my scientific studies (Ireland, Italy and Portugal), I was lucky enough to study at ISAE-SUPAERO as part of the Specialised Masters in Aerospace Project Management. This course enables me to combine technical, organisational and human aspects in my professional projects.
Since the end of 2023, I have been living in Swedish Lapland and working for the Swedish Space Corporation at the Esrange space centre, 200 km above the Arctic Circle. I am Project Manager & Flight Director for suborbital rocket and stratospheric balloon launch campaigns (21 launches to date).
Why did you decide to pursue an international career?
I wanted to get out of my comfort zone. Going abroad allowed me to practise another language every day, learn about another culture and meet people from different backgrounds. It’s an enriching adventure that allows you to discover the world, to open up to others and, ultimately, to get to know yourself so that you can better yourself. I’m also convinced that diversity is the key to the success of any space project and working in international teams is something I’m really proud of.
Travelling gives you a better understanding of the world. There’s no substitute for experience in a country other than your own.
What advice would you give to someone looking for an international career?
There will always be a thousand good reasons for not leaving, for worrying and wondering “what if something goes wrong? The most important thing is to be passionate and to enjoy your work every day. An international career means opportunities, encounters and, without doubt, lots of adventures to live and talk about.
To those who doubt: if you’re driven by the desire to go somewhere else, happiness will follow! ISAE-SUPAERO is a springboard to take advantage of, and after taking your first step outside your own borders, who knows, maybe space will be your next destination…
Stop thinking, just do it!

Arnaud Prost, ESA reserve astronaut and ISAE-SUPAERO alumnus: “I was incredibly lucky to be here”Fighter pilot and reserve astronaut with the European Space Agency (ESA), Arnaud Prost returned to his former school on Thursday March 28 to meet 200 secondary school students as part of the ISAE SUPAERO OSE program. It was an opportunity for him to recall the “great memories” of his student experience at ISAE-SUPAERO, his long-standing commitment to the student social outreach program and the “Aquanauts” scheme he set up with OSE l'ISAE-SUPAERO. And in passing, he offers a few words of advice to young people who might dream of following in his footsteps: “Don't let yourself be convinced that one of these paths isn't for you!” A 2017 graduate of ISAE-SUPAERO, Arnaud Prost is among those selected for the ESA Astronaut Class of 2022, alongside Sophie Adenot and Anthea Comellini, both also alumni of the school. They join other illustrious ESA astronauts who have already studied at the school: Thomas Pesquet, Luca Parmitano and Samantha Cristoforetti. Since 1970, ISAE-SUPAERO has contributed to the progress of the space age through its training, research and innovation activities. As the only organization in France to offer degree courses (engineering, master's, specialized master's, doctorate) covering all 22 space-related themes identified by CNES, the Institute offers a royal road to space careers.

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