[IEEE AP-S Distinguished Lecture] Overview of CubeSats: from Concept to Orbit, by Prof. Reyhan Baktur
IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) Distinguished Lecture
Please join us for an upcoming lecture on 27 Apr. 2023 at 11 am – 12 pm (Eastern Time) by Prof. Reyhan Baktur, from Utah State University, USA.
Overview of CubeSats: from Concept to Orbit
CubeSats are modular and standardized modern small satellites. They have been gaining steady popularity as educational projects, low-cost space exploration vehicles for technology demonstrations, multi-point observations of space environment, and monitoring/reporting proper deployment of expensive deep space instruments.
With rapid advancement of electronics, novel mechanical design, and aerospace technology, new progress in CubeSats is emerging every day. This calls for interests and early involvements of creative young minds. The objective of this presentation is to convey the basics of CubeSat development cycle, launch methods, typical CubeSat orbits, link budget analysis, various antenna solutions, and feasible classroom projects. For the interests of young professionals in electrical engineering, this lecture features a tour of several recent CubeSat missions and antenna designs for spacecraft, ground station, and radio beacon.
