For systems engineers today, a good practical knowledge in electronics is inevitable to ensure good project interoperability. The course will cover important skills in electronics using a hands-on approach. In addition, specific space related aspects of electronics are covered. The module gives the student the basics of space communication and remote sensing with spacecraft. Several sensors and instruments in different wavelengths are highlighted in technical detail. The course will cover general topics in mission design and small satellites concepts. The course represents a combination of theoretical knowledge provided in lectures and practical exercise based on the usage of established infrastructure supported by technology transfer for the participants. This course will provide an overview of the key concepts and techniques involved in the design, manufacturing, and testing of microelectronic devices and circuits for space applications. The course will cover the basics of microelectronic design, including circuit design, semiconductor materials, and device physics. It will also focus on the unique requirements of microelectronics for space applications, such as radiation hardening, temperature and voltage variations, and space qualification.
