Space Environment Testing (synchronous and Asynchronous E-Learning)

The course is made of the following 5 lectures.

• Spacecraft Environment Interaction
• Space systems verification
• Launch environment and structure design
• Thermal design and analysis
• Radiation effects and testing

By the end of this course, the participants should be able to:

• Understand the role of space sector in the digital economy
• Explain the necessary space and ground infrastructure for satellite-based digital applications
• Explain how each satellite subsystem works to achieve the mission success
• Analyse the effects of space environment on a satellite
• Discuss systems engineering approaches to satellite development

What You'll Learn

This course is designed to give learners a fundamental introduction to the principles and practices of testing satellites in the space environment and ensure mission success. Learners will also explore systems engineering approaches to satellite development, gaining insights into the integration of various satellite subsystems to achieve mission success.

As part of the initiative to build the ecosystem of the Singapore space sector, this course offers professional learning and upskilling opportunities for individuals working or aspiring to work in the SG space sector. The global space industry is experiencing significant growth, with the market size projected to reach 1 trillion USD by 2040. This growth is driven by the emerging "new space" industry, which focuses on connectivity and leveraging satellite data for big data analysis. The course aims to equip learners with the necessary training to thrive in the digital economy generated by the space industry.

By the end of this course, learners will be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform space environment testing and verify satellite systems. They will understand the significance of the space sector in the digital economy and be prepared to contribute to the growth and success of the SG space sector.

Minimum Entry Requirement

This programme is suitable for participants working/ intending to work in the space industry. Prior knowledge in mechanical engineering or physics will be an advantage.
