Global Educational Network for Satellite Operations GENSO aims to increase the return from educational space missions by forming a worldwide network of ground stations and spacecraft which can interact via a software standard. This will fundamentally change the way that these missions are managed, dramatically increasing the level of access to orbital educational spacecraft.   Quick Facts Project: Global Educational Network for Satellite Operations Level: University Status: First public release GENSO software in September Contact: Helen Page, genso @ esa.int       Last update: 18 October 2011 More information  •  How GENSO works (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEMETDK26DF_0.html)  •  Project background (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEMZ2C5KXMF_0.html)  •  Project timeline (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEMC4C5KXMF_0.html)  •  GENSO teams (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEMG7C5KXMF_0.html) Documents  •  Call for proposals - European Operations Node (http://esamultimedia.esa.int/docs/edu/Forms_Letters/GENSO/GENSO_call_for_proposals_150709.pdf)  •  Call for proposals - new student teams (http://esamultimedia.esa.int/docs/edu/GENSO_call_for_proposals.pdf)  •  Proposal template (http://esamultimedia.esa.int/docs/edu/GENSO_call_forproposals_template.doc) Related news  •  GENSO Call for Proposals: European operations node (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEM5CH916XF_0.html)  •  GENSO - Call for proposals for new students or teams (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEMSOC5KXMF_0.html)  •  GENSO takes first steps (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEMQM953R8F_0.html)  •  Towards A Global Educational Network for Satellite Operations (GENSO) (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEM8HFZBYTE_0.html) Related links  •  GENSO website (http://www.genso.org)  •  AMSAT-UK (http://www.uk.amsat.org/) Register for ESA Education projects  •  - (http://www.joinspace.org)
