UKRA Senior Level 2 Certification
Workshop (Varies) by UKRA · POA
UKRA Level 2 Certification is required by any UKRA member wishing to fly a rocket powered by rocket motors of total impulse of J-class through to L-class total impulse under UKRA insurance. Level 2 certification requires a successful test flight performed before a UKRA certified safety officer.
UKRA Senior Level 1 Certification
Workshop (Varies) by UKRA · POA
UKRA Level 1 Certification is available to members over 18. This is required by any UKRA member wishing to fly a rocket powered by rocket motors of total impulse of H-class through to I-class, under BMFA (British Model Flying Association) insurance. Level 1 certification requires a successful test flight performed before a UKRA certified safety officer. The certification rocket must be owned and built by the person performing the flight (the rocket may be scratch built or a kit).
UKRA Senior Level 3 Certification
Workshop (Varies) by UKRA · POA
UKRA Level 3 Certification is required by any UKRA member wishing to fly a rocket powered by rocket motors of total impulse of M-class through to O-class, under UKRA insurance. Level 3 certification requires the candidate to have passed their L2 Certification and a successful test flight performed before a UKRA certified safety officer. Refer to your members' handbook for detailed requirements. Level 3 certification also requires the candidate to submit a detailed, written report on the rocket they intend to launch for their level 3 certification. It is strongly recommended that this report is submitted to the UKRA Safety & Technical Comittee before construction of the proposed certification vehicle is begun if you do not do this you may not be allowed to launch.
9th European Space Propulsion Systems Simulation Workshop (ESPSS)
Short course (Netherlands) by European Space Agency (ESA) · Free (~£0)

Due to its success and on users’ request, ESA-ESTEC responsible for the ESPSS development is now preparing a 9th ESPSS workshop covering the following topics: Latest improvements of ESPSS v3.8.0 Industrial validation and simulations Problems’ handling and suggestions Next steps after ESPSS v3.8.0
Rocket Science and Space Launch Course
Short course (Online) by Nova Space · $199 (~£151)
Welcome to Nova Space’s Rocket Science and Space Launch Course. This course will teach you the fundamentals behind how we deliver objects to space. Understanding these concepts are crucial to understanding other fields of expertise across the space industry. For example, by realizing that a customer’s initial requirements will require an extremely large satellite payload, you will be able to effectively communicate early in the design process that the customer can expect high launch costs due to the anticipated satellite size. This course will also give you a better understanding when communicating with professionals in the launch industry in a project setting.
PACE for Space
Short course (Varies) by International Space Propulsion (ISP) · POA
A comprehensive course featuring discussion, practical demonstrations and industrial perspectives, the course should appeal to trainees, graduates, technical professionals, managers, administrators, delegates from insurance companies, end-users and mission operatives, or other interested parties, providing a background of European propulsion heritage, as well as a broad overview of applicable protocols that should be applied at various levels of the discipline, in order to ensure European industry maintains high levels of performance, reliability and quality of product.
Propulsion Test Safety Course
MOOC (Online) by Plastron · Free
Our propulsion test safety course consists of five modules and was funded with a grant from the UK Space Agency. It provides undergraduate engineers with critical skills and knowledge in space engineering safety as they prepare to embark on careers in the space sector.
Introduction to Aerospace Structures and Materials
MOOC (Online) by edX and TU Delft · Free
Explore the structural and material design of aircraft and spacecraft from the viewpoint of an aerospace engineer.
Robotics Workshop
Short course (Belgium) by European Space Agency (ESA) · Free
Planetary exploration is a fascinating sector that ESA is investing heavily in, with projects including the pioneering Rosetta mission to a comet, the ambitious Artemis mission to the Moon (constructing the European Service Module), and the cutting-edge Rosalind Franklin rover destined for Mars. The present and future missions of Mars exploration are the inspiration behind the Robotics Workshop. Over four days, participating students will delve into the design and operation of a planetary exploration robotic vehicle based on the European rover that will be sent to investigate the surface of the red planet. Particular attention will be given to software, starting with installing basic components of Linux and ROS (Robot Operating System). Students will then study the locomotion system, developing algorithms that will allow the robot to move. Finally, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence will be utilised to grant the capability of recognising specific objects on the surface of Mars.
