Comments from Past Participants
The SSDW was an incomparable experience. It was a challenging week with a steep learning curve. Not only did we manage to design a venus mission in a concurrent working environment within a week(!) we also had lots of fun with fellow participants.

The dynamic interaction, team spirit, fast pace and international cooperation is an experience that is incomparable to any other university workshop I have experienced so far. It truly is a hackathon for space stations that can give you an in depth insight into space mission design in such a short time.

SSDW trully simulated the environment of a collaborative international space mission. It was a unique experience, where people from all over the world came together to combine their knowledge and passion towards the design of a revolutionary Venus mission. It was an eye-opening experience for me, where I learned much and developed myself as an engineer.
