The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and the Government of Japan in cooperation with the Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech) are looking for students from developing countries to study nano-satellite development. Another round of the post-graduate study on Nano-Satellite Technologies (PNST) Programme, part of the Access to Space for All initiative, is now open for applications. The partners offer three slots in the Master Programme and three in the Doctoral Programme, covering the tuition fee as well as a stipend to cover living expenses.
