Training
SSTL offers 8 training opportunities:
ESA Scout HydroGNSS (Recorded Content)
Seminar (Online) by SSTL · Free
We are holding an online workshop to introduce the HydroGNSS mission, the science behind the retrievals, the products anticipated at Data Levels 2 and 2, their relationship to Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) and the plans for calibration and validation of the results. The workshop will discuss lessons learnt from previous reflectometry missions, and how future HydroGNSS products could be accommodated alongside other data into climate and meteorological models to improve hydrological and climate knowledge. This workshop is aimed at potential users of HydroGNSS measurements for climate and meteorological models, researchers working in complementary EO missions, and those with an interest in GNSS reflectometry as a future Earth observation technique sustainable through the use of small satellite constellations.
Practical SSTL Ground Segment and Mission & Spacecraft Operations
Workshop (Guildford) by SSTL · POA
The course introduces SSTL ground segment and explains critical missions & spacecraft operations activities. The key to the course is the hands-on element, where participates get to operate, plan, download imagery and create final products from in-orbit SSTL missions, providing real-world experience.
Systems Engineering
Short course (Guildford) by SSTL · POA
Provide in-depth overview of systems engineering and how SSTL applies that successfully in real-life projects. Provide appreciation of the key issues and activities related to SSTL systems engineering throughout the project lifecycle. Focused on SSTL practises, which enables successful and reliable systems
Introduction to Earth Observation
Short course (Guildford) by SSTL · POA
Introduce Earth observation from small satellites and imagery applications. Explain benefits of space assets. Deliver greater understating of concept of operations and common terms and trade-offs (swath, resolution, revisits etc).
Introduction to GNSS and its Applications
Short course (Guildford) by SSTL · POA
Provide an overview of the GNSS systems, usages and potential future trends. Outlining the exploitation of GNSS systems in LEO, MEO and GEO orbits.
Mission Design Workshop
Workshop (Guildford) by SSTL · POA
The course is based on a series of practical exercises to improve the understanding of the processes used at the concept stage of the mission design. We will provide basis to understand steps necessary in every mission design and how to develop the concept for the whole mission. Participants will have a chance to present their results to SSTL’s panel of experts.
EO Imager Design
Short course (Guildford) by SSTL · POA
The course gives the core fundamental knowledge to be able to understand the design of Earth Observation instruments and the processing of their data. It talks about optical, mechanical and electronic aspects of the EO imager design.
Small Satellite Market and Technology Trends
Seminar (Guildford) by SSTL · POA
Provide an overview of the current small satellite market and potential future trends. Highlight important considerations when building a business case with focus on EO applications. Share SSTL’s experience as a pioneer of smallsat revolution and our view of the state of the art in that area.
