About
Design, build, and operate a spacecraft beyond Earth orbit. In three courses on Space Physics and Systems Course, 2.Coding for Space (C4S) Course, & 3. Satellite Build and Engineering, the online Program immerses participants in a research intensive course to build, assemble, test a 6U+ cubesat. Advance space systems, integration, microcontroller, and more. Learn physics of space, orbit maneuvering, Coding for Space, GNC, Microcontrollers, and more.The Course is designed to fit the schedule of young professionals and graduates but also open to scholars in Bachelors degree. Engage in discussions on applying to sensor fusion integration, experiments, software, & systems.
