[Orekit Developers] SOCIS 2017

[Luc Maisonobe <Luc.Maisonobe@c-s.fr>]

Hi all,

ESA will support another SOCIS project (Summer Of Code In Space) this
year. This project funds students to work during the summer holidays
on open source projects related to space.

As usual, the Orekit project proposes a few study subject for students
who want to apply. Our current ideas can be found here:

  <https://www.orekit.org/forge/projects/orekit/wiki/SOCIS>

We have put again some topics already proposed previous years but
not addressed, plus one subject on L2 point trajectories.

If you want to add other subjects, please feel free to write something
and we will add it to the list.

If you know a student who may be interested in working for this, forward
them the link to the student registration form here:

Plase be aware that some legal conditions apply for students.

1) they must be a student in engineering or science - a field that is
   actually related to the skills requested to perform the work.
2) they must live in an ESA member state that is eligible to ESA TRP
   programme

So basically a student studying in a North America university cannot
apply (even if the student is a European citizen), whereas a student
studying in most European countries can apply (even if the student is
not a European citizen).

best regards,
Luc
