space science PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 194 space science PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Fully Funded* PhD position in Space Robotics
About the Project. Robots have been used in space for planetary exploration, satellite docking, and on-board the ISS. In the near future, robots will be used in space for more complicated activities, in line with the developments of new space economy and exploration. Read more
Development of a miniaturised Plug-and-Play Plasma Instrumentation for Small Satellites - “PLASMACube”
Supervisory Team. Dr. Taiwo Raphael Tejumola. Project description. Small satellites, particularly CubeSats, play an increasingly vital role in space missions, from Earth observation to deep space exploration, offering diverse stakeholders a broad spectrum of missions and application possibilities.
