"My internship at Erets Space was a really valuable experience. I was working on the CubeSat’s control systems, which was exciting but also a new area for me. Thankfully, my supervisor was incredibly supportive and helped me get up to speed. I loved being part of a team that was genuinely passionate about space and open to new ideas. The experience helped me grow both technically and personally, and I’m really glad I got to be a part of it."
