Information about Lecturer:
Michał Szwajewski started working in the space industry over 10 years ago as a heat transfer engineer at the Space Research Centre, Polish Academy of Sciences, where he supported the process of designing the first Polish satellite called Lem or BRITE-PL. He then moved to SENER’s newly established aerospace engineering department as an engineer and later as a project manager for such projects as “the space umbilical cord” for the ExoMars 2020 mission and MSGE for the Biomass mission. Today, at Astronika, he actively supports the business development department and the project office. He also manages the Astro-Modules project.
2) Workshops: Link Budget – Satellite communications (ENG)
| When? | Where? | Number of participants | Lecturer | Duration | Registration |
| 11.09.2021 at 10:00 am (CEST) | Politechnika Świętokrzyska, Kielce | 16–20 | Mayank | 2 to 3 hours | Registration form |
About the workshop:
The students will get an introduction to the satellite communication architecture before getting engaged with link budget estimates. There are many tools to start with like spreadsheets and online software. Students would be able to understand concepts like operating frequency, input power, antenna selection, pointing losses, reception, modulation, atmospheric losses as well as the gain and losses in the signal strength due external factors will be explained in detail during link budget calculations. A self-designed link budget tool will be shared with students and they will be able to perform hand calculations for a satellite communication architecture.
Who can participate in the workshops:
Students with engineering background
