Sentinel Ambassadors back to university

As part of ESA’s Sentinel Ambassadors initiative, Ramón Torres, ESA's Sentinel-1 project manager, and Maria Milagro, technical expert in ESA's Copernicus Space Office, returned to their old university, the University of Zaragoza in Spain, to provide a lecture on ESA and Europe’s Copernicus programme.

The guest lecture is one in a series, where the ambassadors, recruited from ESA's Copernicus managers, hope to inspire students to join the new era of space. 

Since each ambassador’s former university effectively laid the groundwork for their subsequent careers at ESA, returning to their alma maters provides students with the opportunity to learn first-hand about how a career in the space sector can be realised. As well as talking about personal experience, the lectures also focus on the Sentinel satellite missions and Europe’s environmental monitoring Copernicus programme, as well as a number of opportunities and activities organised by ESA's Copernicus Space Office.
