Competition for secondary students Mark this date: 15 September 2011 Launch of competition for secondary students to explore the high-energy Universe 4 projects to choose from relating to Integral, ESA’s gamma-ray space observatory Prizes include chance for students to present project at 9 th Integral Science workshop, Paris in October 2012

Integral ESA’s International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory Launched 2002 Observes some of the most energetic phenomena in the Universe. Maps gamma-ray sources across the galaxy

Competition projects Project 1: Observe Make observations of the variable companion stars in high-energy binary systems. Project 2: Research Research the Dynamic centre of the Milky Way, to determine which exotic high-energy sources are present. Project 3: Design Design a high-energy astronomy mission to investigate some of the most powerful phenomena in the Universe. Project 4: Build Build a scale-model of the Integral spacecraft using materials of your choice.

Competition milestones Further details available on 15 September 2011 from ESA Education website To be reminded when competition is launched send to Competition launch15 September 2011 Competition closes 31 March 2012 Winners announced 31 May th Integral science workshop October 2012

Educational Support Teacher Notes

Hipparcos The first space mission dedicated to measuring the positions of stars Launched 1989 Pinpointed more than stars Measured positions, distances, motions, brightness and colours
