As a space systems engineering professional, I have been working on the bus platform (avionics) and never had a chance to fully explore other subsystems.
I also participated in developing my country's first CubeSat and have since been seeking cheaper options to train more professionals with an affordable kit.
When I came across the advert for CLTP14 while attending the 49th Virtual UNISEC-Global Meeting, I knew this was an opportunity to:
- Improve my hands-on experience and deepen my understanding of overall satellite technology.
- Acquire hands-on leadership and project management skills essential for satellite development in multidisciplinary environments.
- Expand my professional and academic networks through collaborating with like-minded individuals.
- To learn and practice teaching methods for practical space technology education and expand space science programs across Africa.
- Course Content
- Comprehensive and well-tailored to offer a firm grasp of satellite development lifecycle in concise, easy-to-absorb segments.
- Online course content is delivered by seasoned academics, with real satellite mission examples.
- Quizzes, lab practices and a final exam to prove mastery of learned knowledge.
- Program Organisation
- This embodied the culmination of years of conducting similar trainings and every detail- from program execution to logistical support -was perfectly executed.
- Support from the staff, instructors, teaching assistants was exceptional, sometimes going an extra mile to offer explanation or troubleshoot code with you.
- Practical Sessions
- Exceptional in applying the taught theoretical knowledge and gaining insight into space technology utilization.
- Hands-on experience with satellite hardware (HEPTA-Sat), software development, data handling, and simulations.
- Environment
- Full of fun and lively interactions.
- Networking opportunities organised by the program were rewarding.
- Teaching practice session to professionals offered a chance to explain concepts in a style similar to future training environments.
- Participants
- A carefully selected cohort of attendees with varied skills and experiences but sharing a similar goal of utilizing space technology for the benefit of humanity.
- Capacity Building:
- Establish CanSat/CubeSat trainings in Uganda with the HEPTASAT kits.
- Career Development:
- Utilise learned knowledge, especially on the ADCS subsystem and space utilization, to inform and guide my research themes.
- Professional Development:
- Establish CanSat/CubeSat trainings in Uganda with the HEPTASAT kits.
- Space Policy Development:
- Provide informed assistance and inputs towards creation of a national space policy and subsequent space technology frameworks for Uganda and Africa at large.
- International Collaboration:
- Leverage the diversity knowledge gained through the program to strengthen my ability to work effectively in multicultural and multidisciplinary environments.
- Initiate research partnerships and joint projects.
Besides CLTP providing you with a rare hands-on opportunity to gain skills in satellite development technology, it is also a chance to network with future leaders in the field, exchange knowledge, and learn from the space sector professionals.
CLTP14 had a diverse team of participants from different professions, and everyone provided insightful contributions to utilizing space technology to solve real-world problems.
Your presence and contribution will add a unique perspective and reinforce the importance of inclusive innovation in advancing space exploration.
