Coding and Engineering Concepts

Spacecraft Antennas

Transmit and receive signals

Antennas enable communication between spacecraft and ground stations or other spacecraft.

Super-cooled rocket fuels

Cryogenic propellants like liquid hydrogen and oxygen provide high efficiency for rocket engines.

Control and automation software

Software systems manage spacecraft operations, fault detection, and autonomous decision-making.

Reduce orbital debris

Strategies include active removal, collision avoidance, and design for minimal debris creation.

Validate spacecraft systems

Testing ensures spacecraft components meet performance and safety requirements before launch.

Groups of satellites

Constellations provide global coverage for communication, navigation, and Earth observation.

Assemble spacecraft subsystems

Integration combines various subsystems into a fully functional spacecraft.

Generate power from sunlight

Space solar power systems collect solar energy in orbit and transmit it to Earth or spacecraft.

Prepare and launch spacecraft

Launch operations include fueling, system checks, and countdown procedures for successful liftoff.
