Space.Minho was a great opportunity to meet national and European personalities from the space sector and to discuss the need for a human perspective in space exploration. The main focus was the existent relation between space and health and the current and future challenges in this area. Spaceway was invited to participate bringing our workshop - the Water Rocket Challenge.

Spaceway attended the 54th edition of AGRO - an International Fair of Agriculture, Livestock and Food. We had the opportunity to meet with national and international agents in the agricultural sector and present the UNIoT - an innovative product that aims to provide IoT connectivity anywhere, anytime. The communication is based on LoRa/LoRaWAN technology allied with small satellite constellations to provide network coverage in remote locations with low to no internet connectivity.

Small Satellites are revolutionizing the NewSpace sector. Their agility and versatility have democratized the access to Space and the emergence of new players. This workshop provides insights about the Mission Analysis and Design of a Small Satellite Constellation, from the concept to the system's requirements and operations, with a focus on learning by doing. The students participate in the process of designing a CubeSat space mission from user requirements to space system design. The workshop will give a thorough introduction to Mission Analysis and Design of Nanosatellite Missions with focus on learning by doing. The students will need to design a constellation from market needs to design of subsystems.

This Crash Course has the goal of providing the participants with knowledge in Earth Observation, from satellite to image to information delivery with application to agriculture and biodiversity. You will learn about remote sensing techniques, geospatial analysis, GIS, Big Data, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and all the potential value of these technologies for Earth applications.

The Course has the goal of providing the participants with knowledge in Mission Concept, Mission Analysis, Systems Engineering, Design Thinking, and Business Model, as well as the knowledge to retrieve value from the SmallSat Constellations.

Small Satellites are the present and the future of NewSpace. Their agility and versatility have democratized the access to Space and the emergence of new players. This workshop provides insights about the Mission Analysis and Design of a Nanosatellite, from the concept to the system's requirements and operations, with a focus on learning by doing. The students participate in the process of designing a CubeSat space mission.

This intensive space course provides the skills and expertise about the process of designing and developing a small satellite space mission for Earth Observation and gives insights into commercial applications. From concurrent design to systems engineering, mission analysis, project management, and commercial innovation, the course combines the knowledge from industry top-level experts with intensive hands-on training.

Nanosatellites have become one of the pillars of commercial space applications, and technological and scientific demonstration, opening new markets and creating new jobs. Small satellites have the ability to form large constellations with the potential to achieve similar or greater performance than traditional ones. With this course, you learn about nanosatellite design and space applications.

SpaceUp is an unconference that aims to be an informal meeting for the presentation and discussion of ideas, in which participants decide on the themes, program and structure of the event. All participants are encouraged to give a talk, start a discussion or moderate a session. This means that typical 'hallway talk' themes turn into constructive debate sessions. This was organized in partnership with the Space Generation Advisory Council Portugal (SGAC) and Pavilhão do Conhecimento – Centro Ciência Viva, Lisbon. SpaceUp Portugal 2019 had the highest number of participants of all editions, registering 120 people with very different backgrounds and nationalities, which allowed for discussions with very different points of view.

Spaceflight Dynamics & Control was the 11th edition that consisted of several lectures on this topic provided by various astrophysics experts from around the world. The sessions covered a wide range of topics from Mission Analysis and Space Dynamics and Control of Space Systems, Space Missions and Orbital Dynamics, Space Systems and the Space Industry in Portugal. The target audience for this event were students and university researchers in the Aerospace sector.

Science Camp 2018 was a summer school aimed at secondary school students in order to motivate them to topics related to space, promoting the exchange of knowledge and interaction among students. This event lasted for three days, during which workshops, astronomical observations and nature walks were carried out exploring the fauna and flora existing in the area. All these activities were carried out in a natural reserve, in contact with animal life, where ancestral stones and a sky full of bright stars are present.

ActInSpace is an international innovation competition that aims to encourage young people around the world to find solutions based on existing technologies, data, patents and infrastructure, driving Start-Ups. The objective of this program is to promote the entrepreneurial spirit, encouraging the creation of Start-ups and promoting the use of space technology and collected data in order to improve aspects of common life, thus increasing jobs. Our ‘PT Explorers’ team won the AIRBUS INNOVATION award in the 2018 edition. The idea presented consisted of a network of Earth Observation data obtained through satellites, reusing the OneWeb Arrow platform.
