Leffell Space: Satellite Communications

This immersive engineering course is designed for students passionate about science, technology, and hands-on innovation. Students will explore core concepts in radio communication, satellite signals, and wireless technologies while designing and operating a satellite ground station. The course also introduces key space subsystems — such as power, thermal, and communication systems — and examines how they interact in real-world aerospace applications. Students work collaboratively on a continuous, evolving project, applying engineering principles to develop practical solutions and deepen their understanding of modern space and communication technologies.
