Durchfuehrbarkeitsstudie SCHOOLSAT Endbericht

The SCHOOLSAT project envisages that satellite ground operations are carried out by students at their own schools. A feasibility study was made in order to analyse the realization conditions and as a preparation for this project. It showed that the probability for succes is quite high. The reaction of all parties, that will have to be involved in a SCHOOLSAT project was extremely positive. The SCHOOLSAT goals, demonstration of satellite ground operations (also providing a test and possible increase in efficiency), public relations for space business, and the promotion of future manpower in schools, will probably be realized successfully. It is recommended to start SCHOOLSAT with a limited number of schools as a pilot project, during which preparations for a regular program will be made.
