On Wednesday, February 28th, 2018, after working for more than four months of work, our Proposal for the Satellite Project Contest was submitted. Twenty Students from more than 10 countries joined the team with the aim to work in a collaborative environment to design and propose a satellite project to be applied to the belt and road countries. As far as we know, this is the first time that Beihang Students participate in this kind of competition regarding the Space Technology.

“We hope that more opportunities like this can be created for foreign students. We had the chance to learn more from each other, to proof our ideas and to show that we can contribute positively to Science and Technology in Beihang. Working during the winter vacation was challenging but I did not feel it extenuating because I wanted to do it”. Vahid RASTINASAB (Satellite Project Student’s Technical team leader)

“We aim to share the outputs of these works with the scientific community continuously. The most important thing is not the destination of this project. The journey of the project is important than the targets. With all, I am very happy to be a pioneer China's joint efforts on small satellites, especially in cooperation with the countries along the Belt and Road”. Fatih AVCI (Satellite Project Student’s team leader)
