Satellite Subsystems
This course provides hands-on experience with the process of designing and building a satellite mission following a compressed version of an standard space mission development process
Course Overview
The Satellite Subsystems module is part of the MSc Space Science & Technology course in UCD, in which students are tasked with designing and building a small scientific payload called a “Tuppersat” (as it must fit within a small Tupperware container) to be flown on a high-altitude balloon. Students will:
- Apply Space Systems Engineering thinking to the design, development, and operation of a complex product
- Accomplish end-to-end system development
- Write formal documentation and project reviews according to ECSS standards
