This course is designed to make students learn the Basics about Satellites and the science behind it. They get to know about a Satellite’s applications, setbacks and the difficulties one has to go through in the process of designing one.
Here comes the fun part. At the end of the course, they get to make their own working prototype of an Artificial CubeSatellite named The PropelSat.
After completing this course, students will have a complete understanding about how satellites work, details about the basic subsystems comprising them and what are all the key factors to be considered when launching a satellite into the orbit.
The next time they see an artificial satellite, students will be able to identify the parts and the purpose of their presence in the satellite.
