Synopsis
The space industry is gaining greater importance in our modern society. From the satellites that now propagate our atmosphere to the rockets launched by Elon Musk, the boundaries of space are beginning to crumple in the face of our imagination. Space Science and Technology are the twin disciplines that will propel us to see a bigger picture and to reach for the stars. In the near future, Space Science will be a major player in the evolution of our civilisation. At the end of the camp, students will be more aware about the trends and development of Space Science and Technology in the 21st century.
Theme 1: Multiple perspectives in Space Science and Technology
Students will:
- Understand how the current knowledge about Physics builds up to Antenna Theory, which is an important aspect of Space Science
- Gain awareness about the educational and career prospects in Space Science
- Gain awareness about current space-based projects
Theme 2: Communication Science Activities:
Students will:
- Learn about the SDR as a receiver
- Assemble a SDR device using parts provided and purchased
- Apply the principles learnt to search for a satellite
- Reflect on the importance of communication in Space related activities
This is a team-based activity which requires students to assemble the parts of a satellite receiver. The equipment must satisfy the requirements needed for proper reception of signals to take place.
