Work
I was tasked with designing a space habitat capable of providing habitation to 10,000 people. Formulating, implementing, and evaluating a project of the concerned scale is very vast and the report and my work dealt with some aspects of them. In the end, I was able to present the project outcome.
Experience
My day started by listing out the daily objectives and tasks. The guidelines were very well made and clear enough to understand the tasks. Reference material was provided for us to research. Although being a remote internship, the experience was smooth. We used to have a meeting every Monday to give an update on the weeks' progress, discuss areas of improvement if any, and the next weeks' target.

The internship with CATECH through IAESTE was interesting and altogether an excellent learning experience. It was an exceptional experience, and it has increased my curiosity to know more about the practical aspect and future possibilities of human space colonies and further manned space exploration. I am keen to gain more knowledge and wholeheartedly grateful to my instructor Mr Sumon Sarkar and IAESTE to get such a varied experience.
