Students at Germany’s Aachen University of Applied Sciences use Altium Designer for an innovative satellite design project.
AN ECONOMICAL RACE TO SPACE
Students at the Astronautical Department at Aachen University (AcUAS) face a unique challenge to develop a space-ready satellite that can survive the harshness of space and a return into earth’s atmosphere, at the lowest possible development cost. While working on this project, students have the opportunity to gain direct, hands-on experience in the spacecraft engineering discipline, learning valuable management and technical skills as they juggle the responsibilities of mechanical, electrical and systems engineering and the complexities of project management.
