French Air and Space School (EAE)

The EAE is a French military higher education establishment that trains the officers of the French Air and Space Force. On the basis of its expertise and the excellence of its research, the school also provides training courses to a broader military and civilian public.

The EAE’s degree-level and master’s courses are open to officers of other nations, who can follow all or part of these courses. These training opportunities cover all aspects of space and provide a range of recognized qualifications (certificates, master’s degrees etc.).

Additionally, the EAE, in partnership with the CDE, CNES and ONERA, offers a specialized master’s degree - Mastère Spécialisé® “Defense and Security in Space”. This degree is designed to train senior military officers and civilian executives with an integrated vision of the security of space systems in civilian and military space operations. This expertise can subsequently be applied to space programme research and development, the implementation and operational use of space systems and crisis analysis, prevention, monitoring and management.

The “Mécanique Spatiale et Systèmes Spatiaux” (Space Mechanics and Space Systems) module provides key foundations for defining and identifying a space system and its missions and environment. This module includes practical training in operational scenarios, using digital reconstitution and simulation tools to develop and consolidate awareness of the space situation and thereby refine decision-making.
