6748 Gault is an asteroid of the main belt that has suddenly shown a cometary activity. This asteroid is currently monitored by the MAUCA students during their METEOR @ C2PU in order to determine its unknown rotation period.

Recent statistics about MAUCA students here.

From this year on, MAUCA students have the possibility to follow several training modules at Thales Alenia Space (in addition to a METEOR there).

There are 4 modules (about 10 days in total) :

1) Introduction to spacecraft missions
2) Initiation to spacecrafts systems
3) Space optics and instruments
4) Teledetection

As for MAUCA lectures, these modules are in english.

These modules are of course of interest for students interested by a space/industry/instrumentation career . However, they are also intended for students more interested by a career focused on research in astrophysics, as much of the contemporary research relies on data collected from spacecrafts.

The paper follows the work  of a METEOR abroad at Thessaloniki and has now been accepted at MNRAS. It is available on arxiv here.

On November 15th,  MAUCA  students were able to image a French cubesat: Spacecube, using the C2PU 1m telescope of the Calern observatory. More
