Cubesat Masterclass

About Course

CubeSat Masterclass offered by Hexstar Universe, a three-day training program focusing on CubeSat technology. Below is a summary of the key topics covered during the program:

Day 1: Introduction to CubeSat

Definition, history, and structural sizes (1U, 3U, 6U).
Components: payloads, bus, power, propulsion, and communication systems.
Comparison with traditional satellites (cost, launch, and development time).
Applications: remote sensing, communication, and scientific research.
Standards and regulations, including CubeSat Design Specifications (CDS) and orbital considerations.

Day 2: Payload Fundamentals

Overview of scientific, commercial, and technology demonstration payloads.
Integration aspects: electrical, mechanical, and software.
Power and thermal management for payloads.
Testing and validation methods: ground, vibration, and thermal testing.
Data handling and communication strategies for payloads.

Day 3: Anatomy of Payload + Case Studies

Detailed payload design process: requirements, design, testing, and integration.
Key components such as sensors, cameras, and scientific instruments.
Case studies showcasing successful CubeSat missions from India and Europe.

Arjit Saxena, the Academic Lead of Hexstar Universe lead the masterclass. This program aims to equip participants with foundational and practical knowledge about CubeSat technology and its applications in modern space missions.
