STMC is the
first educational program operating
in Israel dedicated to teach Space Technology to children and
adolescents. The program started with 30 students ages
16-18
from the Meyerhoff Technical College, Tel Aviv University, and
has been in
successful operation since November 2002 under the direction of Dr. Ana
B.
Heller (AH).
STMC students are organized in different teams and participate in various projects, national contests, congress and conferences. Today the program includes four main projects:
1- A System of two Pico-Satellites (<1Kg) - Research of new space technologies.
2- Satellite Ground Station - VHF image reception of LEO satellites.
3- Educational Courses on Space Technologies - 160 students of the College.
4- Bagrut Projects (5 units in Technology).
Two projects of STMC, MAXOLAR (2004) and Advanced Sun Sensor (2005) awarded the "Young Scientic Researchers Contest in Israel".
AH and STMC "crew" members are involved in an intensive campaign to recruit technical, scientific, and financial support from private companies and institutions
Main Goals:
- Stimulate student interest in space technology.
- Enables students to increase their knowledge of astronomy, mathematics, and physics.
- Provide information on new technologies.
- Develop skills to prepare students for aerospace careers.
- Inspire the next generation of scientific
explorers and engineers
