TRAINING SATELLITE BUILD PROGRAMMES

INTRODUCTORY PROGRAMME Cubesat package, big satellite thinking

  • Focus on systems engineering, mission CONOPS and satellite integration to fully understand the complexity of the satellite system and design a system that works

  • Short timeframe to gaining capability
  • Suitable for customers with no experience or organisations who have already launched cubesats and want to move in complexity of their missions
  • Cubesat standard with SSTL SmallSAT engineering principles 
  • Based on the SSTL-Cube (8-12U) - benefits from the cubesat standard and the variety and quantity of available modules, whilst involving with the tried and tested SSTL engineering expertise

INTRODUCTORY PROGRAMME

Full project can be completed at customer's facility
SSTL or custom payload (e.g. Earth Observation, IoT)
PhD, MSc and University of Surrey courses & qualifications

FULL KNOW-HOW TRANSFER PROGRAMME Gaining technical independence in space systems

  • Full and wide exposure to the end-to-end mission manufacturing process (from mission concept to module design and spacecraft build and test)
  • Extremely hands-on approach with Customer Engineering integrated in the Project Team
  • Unprecedented track record: 20 programmes delivered
  • Suitable for new entrants or experienced organisations
  • Based on SSTL-MICRO or MINI platforms with variety of payloads possible (high resolution, video, medium resolution & wide swath, IR, SAR, science instruments etc), all developed in-house.
  • High value & long-lived mission at the end of the process
  • Training & evaluation methodology developed over 30 years

COLLABORATION AND JOINT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME Developing missions as a joint team

Enables our Customers to take more responsibility for the design of a part or the whole satellite.

  • Use of SSTL’s experience as a safety net for Customer’s developments
  • Use of SSTL’s facilities to achieve own goals
  • Boosting local industry chain
  • Suitable for experienced organisations
  • Working in partnership for risk sharing and joint development
