Unlike typical online courses, this program is designed to: Inspire rather than overwhelm beginners Connect space technology to daily life Encourage hands-on thinking and creativity Open doors to the exciting world of aerospace engineering Whether you're a curious teenager, a career-changing professional, or someone who simply looks up at the night sky and wonders "how do we get there?" - this course is your launchpad into the universe of satellite technology.

Course Outcomes

Conceptual Mastery

• Grasp the fundamentals of satellite technology, from history to cutting-edge missions

• Understand orbital mechanics and the rationale behind satellite placement

• Learn the core principles of systems engineering applied to space missions.

Practical skills

• Design a conceptual satellite mission with realistic components and subsystems.

• Simulate basic orbit paths and calculate launch parameters for payloads.

• Create and present a mission proposal with data-backed justifications.

Career and Industry Readiness

• Explore aerospace engineering as a career path and understand its scope.

• Analyze real-world case studies from ISRO, NASA, and SpaceX to understand industry workflows.

• Build a project portfolio and gain a certificate that enhances future applications in the space sector.

Week 1

Explore the history and purpose of satellites—from Sputnik to modern communication systems. Understand how different orbits (LEO, MEO, GEO) serve different functions. Learn why we need satellites for everyday tech like GPS, weather forecasting, and data transfer.

Week 2

Dive into the science of launching objects into space. Learn how rockets work, compare global launch vehicles like PSLV and Falcon 9, and explore alternative methods like high-altitude balloons. Analyze why launches are expensive and how the industry is evolving.

Week 3

Discover how satellites are engineered to survive and function in space. Understand key subsystems like power, thermal regulation, attitude control, and communication. Learn how satellites collect and transmit data to Earth. Apply this to design basic subsystems for your own conceptual satellite mission.

Week 4

Explore how satellites are used in climate monitoring, disaster management, agriculture, and astronomy. Learn about scientific payloads, remote sensing, and cutting-edge trends like cubesat constellations. Discover how satellite data is processed and applied in real-world scenarios. Conclude the course by presenting your satellite mission concept.
