KiboCUBE Academy is an activity under the educational component of the Access to Space for All initiative. This cooperation is between UNOOSA and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) , with the support of UNISEC Global. KiboCUBE Academy provides theoretical knowledge to develop, operate, and utilize small satellites for future KiboCUBE applicants, but also to anyone who is interested in CubeSat development.
In November 2024, we will organize an on-site workshop in Stellenbosch, South Africa, using a CubeSat training kit (HETPA-sat). Students can learn the basic subsystems of satellite including structure, electrical power supply, command and data handling, communication, ground station, and sensors as well as learn how to integrate those subsystems to create a working satellite as a whole.
Deadline for registration is Wednesday, 20 November 2024 (CET). * The maximum number of participants is restricted to 40. It is first-come-first served. Please note that the registration has been closed since the number reached the maximum.
Schedule: Saturday, 30 November 2024, 9:00-17:00 (including 1 hour lunch break)
This workshop will be held at the same location after
10th UNISEC-Global Meeting and
13th Nano-Satellite Symposium.
Location: Stellenbosch University (near Cape Town, South Africa)
Lecturer: Dr. Masahiko Yamazaki, Associate Professor, Nihon University
Lecture Content:
HETPA-sat is a CubeSat training tool developed by Prof. Yamazaki from Nihon University in Japan for hands-on study of satellite-engineering. By taking a course with this kit, students can learn the basic subsystems of satellite including structure, electrical power supply, command and data handling, communication, ground station, and sensors as well as learn how to integrate those subsystems to create a working satellite as a whole.
Working Language: English
Eligibility:
KiboCUBE Academy provides theoretical knowledge to develop, operate, and utilize small satellites for future KiboCUBE applicants, but also to anyone who is interested in CubeSat development. Please check KiboCUBE Academy webinars.
