The programme, one of India's contributions to the UNISPACE+50 initiatives, aims at capacity building in satellite technology for participants from countries interested in developing a space programme by providing hands-on experience in building and testing of nano satellites. The primary objectives of the programme are:
To offer a simplified and increased exposure to satellite fabrication technologies, as part of the UNISPACE initiative-To provide theoretical course on satellite technology
To provide intensive course on nano satellite realisation, covering mission aspects, design, fabrication, assembly, integration & testing
To provide hands-on training to assemble, integrate and test a low cost, modular nano satellite
The course structure of the programme is as follows:
Module 1: Basics of satellite technology and its applications
Module 2: Nano satellite missions
Module 3: Hands-on training on nano satellite assembly, integration and testing
The course is aimed at Engineering/ Science graduates or Post graduates who have an aptitude to learn space technology, design of circuits for various space systems and management of space systems. Each participating country shall nominate a team of 2 members consisting of one Mechanical Engineer and one Electrical / Electronics Engineer.
