WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2023 on the shore of Lake Léman (Switzerland), Space Campus is an initiative launched by the Space Domain of the Swiss Armed Forces. Based in Lausanne (VD), Space Campus employs over 30 young professionals with technical and military backgrounds, in projects involved with defense and space. Space Campus is also the main recruitment platform for all future Swiss military conscripts that wish to perform their national service amongst the ranks of the Space Domain.
WHAT WE DO
Space Campus focuses its activities on the research & development of space-related technologies for the Swiss Armed Forces. Our core activities lie in the realm of:
- Space Situational Awareness
- Information Research & Intelligence Gathering (IMING/SIGINT)
- Robust SATCOM
- Precise Navigation
- Countermeasures
- Prototypes
WHY WE DO IT
Space activities in Switzerland (and across the world) are growing exponentially. As a consequence, the Space Domain wants to accelerate the contribution of young talents in the research & development of technologies and capabilities having a direct use by the Swiss Armed Forces and armasuisse. The Space Campus creates the link between the Swiss space industry and universities, through academic and industrial projects developed by young professionals (MSc, PhD).
