Overview

The Space Science and Engineering - Space Technology pathway is focused on the application of space technology in industrial settings, its main objective is to provide a sound knowledge of the underlying principles which form a thorough basis for careers in space technology, satellite communications and related fields. Students develop a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of:

spacecraft, satellite communications, the space environment, space operations and space project management;
the electromagnetics of optical and microwave transmission, and of communication systems modelling;

a range of subjects relating to spacecraft technology and satellite communications.

What this course will give you

University College London (UCL) Space & Climate Physics, incorporating the Mullard Space Science Laboratory (MSSL), is a world-leading research organisation and is one of the largest university space science groups in the UK. Space instruments designed and built by staff in the department have flown, are currently operating, or are in development, for the majority of the major space science missions launched or planned for launch since the late 1950s.

Through our teaching we offer students real-world examples of the issues associated with designing and building instruments for space, including learning how to translate scientific requirements to engineering requirements when designing new instruments and missions. Opportunities are also provided to analyse both science and housekeeping data collected from currently operating space instruments.

Employability

The close contact that the laboratory enjoys with space agencies such as ESA and NASA and with industrial research teams encourages the development of transferable skills which enhance job prospects in industrial and research centres in the public and private space sectors.
