Two members of the CPT-SCOPE team, namely Anastasiya Dykyy and Timo Stein, presented the preliminary results of the CPT-SCOPE flight-test aboard BEXUS 20 on October 10, 2015, at the 1st Symposium on Space Educational Activities.


The event took place in Padova, Italy and gathered more than 200 participants. The CPT-SCOPE findings were summarised in a conference proceedings paper entitled “The Cosmic Particle Telescope Project – First Results” authored by the CPT-SCOPE core team.

Colombo Best Paper Award". Timo also received a conference sponsorship from the German aerospace agency, DLR.

The CPT-SCOPE student team has been supported by IDEAS.
