ARTEMIS Space Programme

Open Source. Open Data. Open Space

The ARTEMIS Open Space Programme is creating a new revolution in Space Exploration and Development. 

Our Vision is to revolutionize the way we access Space by developing an Open Space Programme that is accessible and beneficial to everyone.

 The Artemis Open Space Programme will pave the way for civil society to access space. We seek to create opportunities for young people and adults to participate in our space missions. Through participating in the ARTEMIS Open Space Programme, you will be able to work alongside space scientists and engineers to gain new knowledge and skills, develop your ideas into experiments and applications and make exciting scientific discoveries.

ARTEMIS Space Academy

Cansat Challenge

The ARTEMIS Space Academy is an opportunity for young people, adult learners, families, communities, and businesses to gain new knowledge and skills through exploring space science, developing their ideas into experiments and applications and participating in real space missions.

ARTEMIS is not just a Space programme. Our goal is to develop a series of conservation and education programmes to protect the planet, support sustainable development, and reach over 1 billion people in deprived communities to tackle poverty and find practical solutions to today’s societal challenges.

About Us

Practical Solutions for Today's Global Challenges

Science plays a part in our everyday lives, and its technological applications enables us to develop as a society. In our ever changing world, science plays a role which allows us as a civilisation to advance forward. At ARTEMIS Space our goal is to use science and technology as a tool to provide practical solutions to the global challenges we face. ARTEMIS Space will act as a nexus for facilitating cutting edge research, empowering citizens through enabling the acquisition of  education and skills, and providing technological services and products which benefit humanity

We aim to do this by facilitating a number of innovative projects with our ultimate goal of protecting the planet, supporting sustainable development, and reaching over 1 billion people in deprived communities to tackle poverty.

 The Artemis Open Space Programme will pave the way for civil society to access space to designing hands-on inquiry based workshops for learning, to developing a 21st century science and technology mobile museum, ARTEMIS Space is is leading the way forward in developing a broad range of products and services to provide a lasting impact.

 

1.1 Vision

ARTEMIS will act as global leader in research, science communication, science education, and public engagement. This will be achieved through promoting excellence in science and innovation, finding solutions to today’s social challenges, and empowering citizens with the acquisition of knowledge and skills to benefit their everyday lives.

1.2 Mission

  • To engage the public with science through dialogue and direct participation in decision making to facilitate science active citizenship

  • To bridge the gap between science, education, industry and the public

  • To develop solutions to today’s challenges through acting as platform for innovation through the application of science and technology

Objectives :

  • Increase the public’s awareness of science, promote widespread access to new knowledge, and act as a platform for engaging citizens in scientific research as “Citizen Scientists”

  • Support formal and informal science education using space as a tool for inspirational content and aspirational aspects for careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)

  • Facilitate the transfer of knowledge from research and development to benefit our daily lives (health, medical research, technology, GPS, transport etc)

  • Development of technological applications through research and development such as micro-satellites for monitoring the Earth's climate and applications for conserving marine environments

  • Provide Teacher Training and educational support through the development of innovative related material developing key and core skills, including numeracy and literacy.

  • Engage with local industry and businesses, to drive the economy and support job creation.
