Please find our vacant internships under Job Opportunities. Apply by registering your CV and a cover letter in which you specify why you are suitable for the job, and why you would like to work at SSC. You can subscribe to be notified when a new internship is added.

Student Programs

Rocket and Balloon Experiments for University Students

The REXUS/BEXUS programme allows students from universities and higher education colleges across Europe to carry out scientific and technological experiments on research rockets and balloons. Each year, two rockets and two balloons are launched from SSC’s launching facility Esrange Space Center, carrying up to 20 experiments designed and built by student teams.

The REXUS/BEXUS programme is realized under a bilateral Agency Agreement between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA).
