For a Liberian participant, the experience was highly educational: “Participating in the ESA Academy Space System Engineering Training Course […] provided practical knowledge in mission design, payload analysis, and system engineering. As Liberia's representative, I enhanced technical, teamwork, and leadership skills through collaboration with international participants.”

ESA and AfSA plan to continue expanding their joint training initiatives in New Space engineering under the AESPP, paving the way for future cooperation in research, innovation, and technology transfer. Each course builds on the same vision, that the future of space exploration is inclusive, interconnected, and collaborative.

With every new cohort of students trained under this partnership, the message becomes clearer: Europe and Africa are engineering a shared future among the stars.
