Our three-day training course on Space Electronics helps you understand satellite and spacecraft sub-systems, and to develop local capability and expertise:
The three-day training course is suitable for satellite/spacecraft design engineers, system integrators, system engineers, project/program managers, procurement staff, QA, space agencies, component suppliers, distributors and FAEs.
What you will learn to benefit immediate and future projects?
1. How to design Space Electronics right-first-time, to cost and schedule, preventing you over-engineering, delivering late and spending too much. The key project milestones used by satellite/spacecraft OEMs, the required deliverables and the standards used by the space industry.
2. The differences between all space-grade FPGAs and how to select the most suitable device for your next project. A comparison of FPGAs implementing spacecraft IP including devices from Microchip, Xilinx, Frontgrade and NanoXplore! Which COTS FPGAs are suitable for space applications.
3. How to use and select low-cost COTS parts and which COTS FPGAs, ADCs/DACs and Power devices can you reliably use for space applications. Semiconductor radiation effects, mitigation techniques, radiation testing and space-grade memory technologies.
4. The differences between all space-grade ADCs/DACs and how to reduce the size, cost, weight and power consumption of satellite transponders.
5. The differences between isolated DC-DCs, linear and switching POLs, and how to select the most suitable device for your next project. Which parts not to use?
6. Right-first-time component placement, routing, layout and design-for-EMC using optimum PCB stack-up, thermal management and pre & post-layout verification - how to ensure your Space Electronics will be delivered to cost and right-first-time!
A three-day program will be offered comprising our FPGA, Mixed-Signal and Power courses. You can book any individual course, any two, or the complete three-day training which is attached. The courses include videos, demonstrations of test equipment and EDA software solving real problems currently being faced by the space industry. Places can be purchased by emailing events@spacechips.co.uk.
Spacechips' training courses are unique and not offered by anyone else in the world! Numbers are limited to give you a personal and interactive education experience, and all attendees receive a personal bound copy of the training notes containing almost 900 slides. We have taught over 700 space professionals in 15 countries, including 60 companies and 8 space agencies, teaching to professionals in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Holland, India, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Spain, Turkey, UK and USA.
The three-day course will be taught by our CEO, Dr. Rajan Bedi. Previously, Rajan headed Mixed-Signal Space Electronics Design at Airbus Defence & Space in the UK for twelve years designing the Space Electronics for telecommunication, Earth-Observation, navigation and science missions. Rajan is also the author of Out-of-this-World-Design, the award-winning blog on Space Electronics, which has been read over eight million times. Rajan has designed Space Electronics for over 70 missions.

Using Satellite Technology to Feed a Growing, Hungry World
Global population is predicted to increase to almost ten billion people by 2050 requiring food production to increase by 70%. At the same time, the amount of land available to grow crops is declining rapidly. Learn how satellite technology is enabling smart agriculture.
BRAVE, New, ITAR/EAR-Free Space-Grade FPGAs
Many satellite and spacecraft OEMs around the world are looking for ITAR/EAR-free, rad-hard, ultra deep-submicron FPGAs. Discover how, BRAVE, a new family of European rad-hard FPGAs, addresses this market need.
Magnetising the Next Generation of High-Throughput Satellites
Satellite manufacturers are designing and making proprietary isolated DC-DCs and switching point-of-loads. Learn how magnetics, power transformers and inductors, are fundamental to the design of these voltage regulators.
Make vs. Buy
With so much emphasis on low cost, many spacecraft manufacturers are making their own voltage regulators using space-grade or COTS-based discrete components. Discover how to make your own low-cost DC-DCs for your next satellite.

Introducing RFSoC
Integrating GSPS ADCs and DACs with Xilinx's programmable MPSoC fabric reduces physical footprint and chip-to-chip latency, completely eliminating the external digital interfaces between the mixed-signal convertors and the FPGA. RFSoC will enable the next generation of ground-segment electronics.
