Course Description
The transition to lower cost, higher volume satellite constellations is driving technological advancements and demanding cost-effectiveness. Small satellites, equipped with smarter and more compact subsystems, are gradually replacing the need for their larger counterparts. This shift is not only reshaping the industry but also democratizing access to space, as the lower manufacturing costs of small satellites pave the way for mass production.
At Rohde & Schwarz, we support the satellite industry with our expertise and tailored test and measurement solutions. Join us as we present several innovative satellite topics that highlight optimal test and
compliance practices for those designing, building and deploying satellite networks and subsystems. Register now to reserve your seat on these important topics! Don't miss out.
