About us
TechForSpace is an international non-profit association based in Toulouse (France). Our main objective is bringing the general public and the aerospace sector closer. We do this by carrying out engineering and scientific projects related to aerospace following an open source philosophy. This means that all our progress, project difficulties, source codes, opportunities and ideas are shared through our website. We also try to use our projects as material for educational articles.
We are an international team of people made of about 20 students and young professionals from 6 different countries, collaborating at distance and dedicating our free time to these projects – because this is our passion.
For visitors

Featured project
JUICE visualization
We’ve been asked by ESA to prepare visualizations of the JUICE spacecraft mission in a solar system simulator called Cosmographia. Tasks include writing scripts for Cosmographia to read data built in an information system called SPICE, scripts describing instruments and individual observations, and preparing sets of files for a series of observations. In a long term project will also include the 3D model of JUICE spacecraft, with all instruments properly located on it.
