HANDS ON TRAINING

Apprentices will train alongside professional spacecraft engineers in small teams to complete real-world space missions for government, industry and/or research institutions.

At SFL Missions we offer intense hands-on training in small spacecraft development teams. We focus on training apprentices in good spacecraft design and test philosophy instead of over reliance on formality, excessive process, irrelevant standards and parts certifications that tend to inspire overconfidence, obscure flaws and limit understanding.

We actually give our apprentices the ability to design spacecraft from strong fundamentals and to become knowledgeable systems engineers. Our apprentices gain deep insight and the skills to question assumptions to develop robust purpose-built spacecraft.

For these reasons, the SFL Apprenticeship Program is known as the “Top Gun” training program of spacecraft engineering.

“Graduates from the SFL program can be found
(excelling!) in space companies around the world.”
