Michael Caneff
Student, Aerospace Engineering and Communications, Sofia University
‘’ I am currently studying the masters program while building a satellite intelligence company that transforms raw Earth observation data into avalanche risk products for safer decision-making in the mountains. ‘’
Ivana Bazhdarova
Student, Aerospace Engineering and Communications, Sofia University
‘’ I've had this dream about space ever since sixth grade – but I thought pursuing it meant leaving Bulgaria. This program proved me wrong. You actually touch and build real satellites, and you know you're being prepared for exactly what the industry needs. ‘’
Anton Atanasov
Student, MSc Space Engineering & Technology, Naval Academy, Varna
‘’ Studying the masters program at the Naval Academy gives me hands-on experience with real engineering systems, advanced navigation simulators, and EnduroSat technologies directly relevant to the space industry. It’s exciting to work on practical projects that prepare me for a future career in space engineering. ‘’
Martin Simeonov
Student, MSc Space Engineering & Technology, Air Force Academy
‘’ Through the masters program, I've developed strong expertise in systems engineering and orbital mechanics while working on real-world space projects. It's given me the skills and confidence to take on the challenges of the rapidly growing space industry. ‘’
