The doctoral program is now therefore configured as a conjunction of several research teams with a common objective, the development of technology susceptible to be used in aerospace projects. This is a training area that can be considered strategic for the University of Vigo, and that allows the training project in space technology that began with the launch of Xatcobeo, the first Galician satellite, to be extended towards the doctorate, while different groups with great previous experience in doctoral training are oriented towards the same objective, as demonstrated by the recent launch of the HUMSAT-D and SERPENS satellites.
The relevance of these technological developments lies not only in their possible aerospace application, but also in other fields of application that arise in industry in sectors as varied as telecommunications, automotive, naval, biomedical applications or new industrial production systems. In this way, this doctorate is an excellent opportunity to incorporate a new profile of professionals with high specific training into the industrial fabric.
