Onsite and online around the world
ISU Faculty & Alumni Network
The course, taught in English, aims to:
- Provide a neutral and global overview of space and space related subjects
- Explain core engineering and technical concepts in a simple manner
- Deliver a greater understanding of the challenges and opportunities of the space sector
- Give an insight into the traditional space markets (telecom, navigation, earth observation…) as well as new space economy.
- Many people think you need to be an engineer or a scientist to be a part of the space sector. This is not the case and the International Space University has a successful record of enabling access for people of all vocations.
Participants will leave the course with knowledge and skills enabling them to understand and communicate more effectively with their colleagues in other disciplines.
They will develop their comprehension and expertise of space related activities and terminology.
This intense course exposes participants to the interdisciplinary, international and intercultural learning environment of the International Space University.
The course is conducted through lectures and experiential learning with workshops and case studies. A challenging project encapsulating all major aspects learned during the week and applying concurrent engineering to a modern telecommunications satellite ends the week.
- Help staff get a clearer picture of how the global space sector is structured
- Stay a step ahead and keep abreast of the latest space developments
- Generate business opportunities via other participants
- Ensure smooth exchanges and communication on space issues within the company.observation…) as well as new space economy.

Strasbourg, France
Join us in the heart of Europe, at the International Space University’s central campus in Strasbourg, France for the Executive Space Course.
Since its inception in 2003, this one-week course has been demystifying space and space-related subjects, equipping non-technical professionals with the acumen and jargon to navigate the sector’s unique terminology and concepts.
Twenty years of progressive enhancements, driven by participant feedback, have seen our program evolve from an introductory course into the pivotal Executive Space Course we offer today, with a modern twist focusing on the burgeoning New Space Economy.
This course is more than just lectures; it’s an immersive experience facilitated by ISU’s distinguished resident faculty, alongside esteemed guest speakers from globally recognized organizations. Engage in dynamic workshops and case studies that will sharpen your practical skills.
Upskill through an unrivaled educational experience where interdisciplinary knowledge meets international collaboration, all within the culturally rich backdrop of ISU’s commitment to fostering intercultural dialogue.
Broad-based educational programs that encompass all disciplines relevant to space scientific, engineering, economic, regulatory, political, and organizational provide students with a multi-dimensional perspective, vital for understanding and effectively dealing with complex space development and utilization issues.
