I don't think it's made clear to students entering university how they can get into the space sector.
It's never too hard to cross train though. Anyone looking to enter the industry can study for a science or engineering degree with a university such as the Open University and then either go on to do a masters or just read specialised subject material.

Some interesting books I've found include the following.

Alternatively specialise in a subject such as astrophysics and focus on the science of planets and astronomy.

Scaled Composites re-launched their website in February and they've now got a new jobs page. Currently 10 vacancies listed. I've also built a list of all current space industry vacancies I can find worldwide, see: JP Space Jobs. It seems to me there is no shortage of companies working on access to space, the shortage is the number of people with the skills to work for them. I wish more youngsters would study space science and engineering, we'd all be flying to space much sooner then.

I'm so excited that I found this group, as I believe networking is the key to finding about some of the best (unadvertised) positions out there. My passion is aerospace software testing and I look forward to sharing any positions I come across (and finding one should I ever need it!).

hi
i wish to receive new career jobs

Comment by Trevor HM Cooper on November 24, 2009 at 11:08pm

You may be a candidate for our team in the years to come.
Tasha9503 is tomorrow, designed with 1995, or better, technology.
As this Space Race continues I ask the world to use these transport vehicles to take several crews to the Moon, Mars, beyond and back.
I will not suggest any human leave the protection of this infrastructure after passing the Van Allan Belt, but you can enter any orbit around our sun.
We have a satellite delivery system idea that produces zero space junk.
Each launch lifts six satellites and a 200 passenger landing vehicle.
Imagine a $30,000,000 launch.
200 passengers pay $50,000 each .
6 satellites pay $3,400,000 each
Six launches, attach 6 used rocket hardware, remove the tanks and reattach them to the outside, clean renovate, place the 36 satellites and open for rent.
The day we collect rent we will no longer be for sale.

Each hotel includes the six robotic arms to collect space junk in preparation for mining the Asteroid Belt.
Anyone with access to PayPal will be able to purchase the infrastructure in space, initially used as HotelsInSpace, resorts APlaceInSpaceToPlay.
In 1988 we started looking for all the reasons we can not move to space.
7 years we collected the sciences that say we can.
This infrastructure includes five levels of artificial gravity to remove the physical degeneration that prolonged exposure to zero-g brings.
It is a place for our children to live if an asteroid or a commit etc, hits Earth or global warming makes Earth uninhabitable by humans.
Launch costs, oxygen and water purification, food and sewage, Maintenance, Reproduction.
We found the solutions to all the stoppers and slow me downs and lowered the cost.
We still ask the world why they think we can not build these HotelsInSpace if funds were available?
If we can pass the Van Allan Belt, we can pass the Moon, Mars and beyond.

Each HotelsInSpace includes 12 staff units, 72 units with sleeping for three for sale/rent, six cafeterias, six separate zero gravity sections, gardens to feed 36 people, internet connection to the world and access to the entire HotelsInSpace.
This is the place where many people can try ZeroGravitySex.
Depending on other’s transportation facilities, we feel any time under one week per year will not be usable, unused time accumulates.
Owning one week, in one unit, in one hotel unit when we first open for rent, means when we have 52 hotels you own 52 weeks.
In 2009 we showed the world our answers to why we can go.
Lift 1,000,000 lbs of pre shaped Single Stage To Orbit (SSTO) Heavy Lift Vehicle (HLV).
Re use the casings fuel tanks and software in orbit as infrastructure.
Attach 6 used rockets, clean, renovate and place the 36 satellites in their respective orbits.
Do it again, lifting another 1200 people, 36 satellites and building more HotelsInSpace.
CitySkapes above the clouds.
Safety?
How many people died this month in car accidents?
How many died when swimming?
How many died in Boating accidents?
With 120 NASA shuttle launches, less than five burned on re-entry.
Less then 35 people die and less than 500 live to tell stories about space travel.
With 120 Tasha9503 launches, if 4 burn on re-entry, that’s 800 people die and 23,200 live to tell space stories.
We also end up with 19 HotelsInSpace.
Does that answer any questions about safety and send any other questions?

Spaceflight used to be for top scientists and for the most extravagant or rich people. Now there is a commercial airline that gives people the opportunity to fly into space for 200.000 dollars. This might seem a lot but is nothing compared to the millions of dollars a space-tourist had to pay to join a governmental spaceflight. The next step is to give everyone the opportunity to make a spaceflight. To achieve this the cost to get into space will have to decrease heavily. This will parallel the same trend that saw the increase of airline passengers in the previous century. The fact that spaceflight is for everyone will result in a massive increase of public participation in spaceflight and business development around it.

The givemeaspaceflight.com does not want to wait for commercial spaceflight to become affordable for everyone. It has as a goal to every year give an entrepreneurial student the opportunity to make a spaceflight. In doing so the foundation can prove that spaceflight is not just for the happy -rich- few but can gradually become something everyone can take part in, even a humble student. The activities of the foundation will increase awareness for commercial spaceflight and will inspire students to set goals that are beyond this world.

It is unbelievable that we live in a world where there is a slightest possibility that the foundation can succesfully fulfil its goal. People should never forget that we live in a very special time. I would like to end with an old publication of "Schiphol" from the year 1936 about commercial airflight which is very similar to the commercial spaceflight (if one would only replace the word "air" for "space")

How ordinary...
"How ordinary we (in a short period of time) think of the existence of commercial airflight, how normal we speak about this, we gave our full attention to this industry, looked at every development with an interest, which normally is not the case for other industries. It will not be strange,to write, that we still are aware, that the biggest victory was, that a fight was won, when mankind used a new element - de air - to use for its travel needs. Furthermore there is no doubt that the high speed of development of airflight and the full attention of the audience, gave it new fuel to move forward. It has been a short time, which had to be crossed to change airflight from what the public saw as an adventurous activity into a strong public organization, in which everyone confirms the importance of it and sees the big possibilities for business development."

Hello folks! I've been out of of the aerospace sector for a while, working as a Trainer for Apple, yet still doing my space tourism design research and doing public speaking for the Space Tourism Society. If your organization needs a forward-looking conceptual designer of products for the outer space lifestyle, which I call the "Orbital Lifestyle," look no further. I'm also an excellent photographer.

can anybody tell what standard ,in the IO interfacing ,are being adopted in the Space Application ( Write now I am doing my Project in the High Speed transceiver Design for IEEE-LVDS standard.. I also want the comment on LVDS standard
