This programme is offered to eligible state university students on a yearly basis to give a unique and well-rounded introductory experience in the professional world of research and development of space science and technology disciplines.
Practical Education in Technology, Research, and Innovation (PETRI) is a programme geared towards assisting student teams along all the steps of developing their project from concept to operations and data analysis, guiding them through industry standard engineering practices, good project management, risk mitigation and effective fundraising techniques.
The programme offers multiple platforms for teams to conduct their engineering or scientific experiment, these are currently the Large Diameter Centrifuge, the ZARM Drop Towers, the Parabolic flight and the ICECubes Facility on board the International Space Station. The portfolio of available platforms on offer will increase in the future to accommodate more diverse research and technological development projects.
