2504 Apparatus internship using space  

The students decide independently and with consideration
of available places for one of the two sub-areas of space use: satellite navigation or earth observation
You will then carry out your technical internship with a topic from this area.
 
The internship includes the following work points based on real satellite data:
  • Introduction to suitable evaluation software (eg SNAP, QGIS, Python or Google Earth Engine)
  • Depending on the subproject, procurement of available satellite data from suitable sources
  • Development of the question for a suitable scenario (eg crises or natural disasters)
  • Evaluation of satellite data for the analytical description of the selected scenario
  • Documentation and presentation of the results
