Only the student projects with the most involvement as mentor + all as co-supervisor are listed for the HYPSO satellites (2018 - now). As a technical project manager and project leader for HYPSO-1 and HYPSO-2, I have been involved in mentoring/supervising of more students than listed.
Only master thesis students from the NTNU Test Satellite project (2010 - 2018) are listed.
