Altair Space Missions

We are always happy to help students achieving their dreams. A student has sent us his feelings about our Organization:

"I’ve graduated last year in July in faculty of engineering Cairo university and my bachelor degree was in science of communications and electronics engineering.
Further, I’ve been dreaming of having the opportunity to study space science and engineering. Thus, by the end of 2016, I’ve decided to do masters in space engineering after completing my bachelor. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do this in Egypt and I started to search for the program that I can do well at.
While I was searching, I found organization called “Altair Space Missions” I haven’t hesitated for a second to mail them asking for help to find the program to study space engineering. They were so helpful fortunately. Thanks to them, I could decide which program I can do and which university I want to apply at. There were two options, but I chose the one that I saw it’s suitable for me and my potentials.
In addition, they helped me with writing my curriculum vitae and the motivation letter I sent to apply for the program. Even till now where I’m in Germany to do masters, they haven’t stopped helping me during my studies and offering all kinds of help to make me go through the difficulties of living abroad as it’s my first experience.
I really would like to thank all the people who are behind this organization. Also, I’d like to be part of Altair Space Missions in the future to help everyone get the path they see that it’s right for their dreams.
I like also what they are doing concerning some projects that would help Egypt someday compete with developed countries and maybe catch up with them in the space science and industry. "

Incoming Solar Radiation doesn't reach our Earth surface completely, Ozone Blocks some of the Ultraviolet spectrum and green house gases (such as Water V***r) block Infra Red (IR) spectrum. We receive various signals with various spectrum's from other planets, stars and galaxies. However to receive - for example - a certain IR signal, we must go high above the Troposphere (within most of the atmosphere lies) and receive the incoming astronomical signals.
