ABOUT
Overview
Please note: the first intake for this course is September 2022. You can apply now to start in September 2022 or January 2023.
The University of Bradford is offering an exciting opportunity to those who want to pursue their career in the space/satellite sector.
This programme is unique in covering not only the three pillars of space/satellite systems: communications, earth observation and navigation, but also artificial intelligence (AI) and distributed systems, which are keys to the future satellite systems.
You will benefit from being taught by a team of world renowned technical experts in space/satellite engineering and state-of-the-art space laboratory facilities.
You’ll gain theoretical knowledge and have hands-on experience in constructing a cubesat/pocket cube. You’ll also develop software modules for the Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TTC) system, which are key components of a space system, either as a part of the taught modules or as an MSc project. You’ll be supported by state-of-the-art space lab facilities, including a cleanroom for the construction of the cubesat/pocket cube and a small scale TTC control centre.
