||attachment:esa.png || '''SUCCESS Student Contest of ESA'''||

The European Space Agency (ESA) recently launched the 4th SUCCESS Student
contest, which invites students to propose and conceive an experiment on
the International Space Station (ISS).

The  ISS is a permanently manned research laboratory orbiting the Earth in
400  km  altitude.  It  offers  unique  research conditions, in particular
weightlessness.  The  research  module  Columbus,  which  is Europe’s most
important  contribution  to the ISS, is due to be launched and attached to
the  ISS at the end of 2007. It will further enhance the opportunities for
life sciences, physical sciences and technology development.

In  order  to  stimulate  the minds of young people, ESA, one of the major
partners  in  the ISS programme, is organising the SUCCESS Student Contest
for university students.

The  SUCCESS  Student  Contest  invites  university students to propose an
experiment on board the ISS.

The  first  prize  is an internship at ESA’s space research and technology
centre  (ESTEC)  in  the Netherlands. During this internship the winner(s)
can work on his/her (their) experiment preparing it for flight to the ISS.

Deadline for abstracts is '''Feb 1, 2008'''
