Hi Paul,

They are expected to work only from home. If they are close to their  
mentor premises, they may come there if needed.

Last year, our student was in Paris, several hundred kilometers away  
from us. We may well get a student from another country this year.

> 2. Do we assume that the student brings his own Eclipse/Java environment?

Yes. We will help them set this environment up if needed.

Yes, but it is not the Orekit team that does the complete student  
selection. We will sort the students who are interested by our  
subjects according to our preferences, but the final selection is done  
by ESA.

Last years, all projects got their prefered choice, but depending on  
the number of projects and number of students, this may be different  
this year.

best regards,
Luc
