  1. ESA AO for experiments on the Concordia station:
    The Human space flight Directorate of ESA together with the Concordia steering committee announces an opportunity to propose investigations in medicine, physiology and psychology using the unique environment of the Antarctic Concordia station as a Human Exploration Analogue (AO-10-Concordia)
    Deadline for letter of intent: 22.2. 2010
    Proposal workshop: 2.3.2010
    Deadline for proposals: 12.4.2010

  2. EXOMARS ORBITER AO
    The European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) intend to release in January 2010 an announcement of opportunity requesting proposals for instruments to be flown on the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter with the objective of studying trace gases in the atmosphere of Mars.

  3. Spin Your Thesis! 2010 call for proposals
    ESA is offering European students the opportunity to conduct hypergravity experiments, with a call for proposals for the 2010 ‘Spin Your Thesis!’ programme.

  5. XXIV Ph.D. cycle in Aerospace, Naval and Quality Engineering at the University of Naples (Italy) “Federico II”.
    One scholarship will be funded by INAF – Astronomical Observatory of Capodimonte (Naples) in the framework of the project “MEDUSA” for ExoMars. The research project foresees the study of dust dynamics in the boundary layer of Martian atmosphere and the participation to the study, realization and calibration of the instrument MEDUSA.
    This instrument has been designed to measure dust and water vapour properties in the lower atmosphere of Mars in the framework of ESA “ExoMars” space mission.
    The project is suitable for students with a good skill in fluid dynamics applied to space projects.
    The research work foresees:
       - Study of the structure and dynamics of the boundary layer of Martian atmosphere, that is the environment in which MEDUSA will operate;
       - Development of a model for the entrainment of surface dust in the atmosphere;
       - Support to the optimization of the instrument design (based on the study of Martian aerosol dynamics inside and outside the instrument) and to the definition of operations;
       - Instrument calibration in a simulated Martian environment.
