About Workshop
Join our workshop to gain hands-on experience in satellite technology. Learn the fundamentals, build practical skills, and expand your understanding of how satellites operate and communicate in space.
The CubeSatSim, developed by AMSAT, and used in our satellite workshop, is a versatile satellite emulator designed for hands-on learning.
With its modular design with three boards, CubeSatSim offers an interactive experience in satellite assembly and operations.
Topics
CubeSat and LEO
Gain a comprehensive understanding of the lifecycle and fundamental concepts of small satellites, with a particular emphasis on Low Earth Orbit (LEO) systems. This module introduces essential terminology, including Two-Line Element sets (TLE), NORAD, and the characteristics of different orbital classifications such as LEO, Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Geostationary Orbit (GEO).
Satellite Subsystems
You will have a hands-on experience in this session by building your own CubeSat, and learn about subsystems of small satellite. This module will contain the concepts of telemetry and telemetry tracking, and the introduction to widespread COTS design practices.
Material Sciences in Satellite
Gain insight into small satellite form factors, structures, materials, and mechanics. Engage in hands-on CubeSat II building. Learn about equipment reliability, space qualification, launch processes, and COTS satellite design. Explore thermal and vibration testing, orbital mechanics, look angles, perturbations, and radio considerations.
Satellite Communications
Learn about basic transmission and antenna theory, radio modulation and demodulation, space communication bands, ground station considerations, and engage in hands-on satellite communication lab exercises.
Space Debris
Learn about end-of-life time considerations, de-orbiting mechanisms, detecting small satellite malfunctions and implementing trigger conditions, as well as space debris and trajectory predictions for evasion.
Build Your Own CubeSatSim
Explore domain-specific considerations for small space missions, engage in hands-on activities to build your own payloads, delve into one future technology.
