Applying Digital Engineering across Space Mission Analysis and Design: Satellite Communications

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:

To ensure mission success, the ground segment must maintain continuous communication with the satellite throughout the spacecraft’s operations. During mission analysis and design, engineers must address the everyday challenges of a spacecraft’s communications subsystem. They need to tune frequency ranges, power budgets, antenna design, and attitude states throughout the design process to ensure seamless communications during operations.

This satellite communications webinar will discuss a simple link from a ground station to a satellite. We will then build on that link and show how digital engineering techniques can be leveraged to approach more complicated engineering problems. We will discuss phased array design, interference, and the space environment—each of these topics plays a critical role in building a mission’s communications system.
