Small Satellites

Listen to full episode :

We're coming back to the topic of space thanks to the winner of this year's Luxembourg Science Slam, Citlali Bruce Rosete, PhD student at the Space Systems Engineering Research Group of SnT, University of Luxembourg.

We explore the intricacies of space technology, discussing the challenges and innovations in satellite design, the importance of sustainability in space, and the potential of swarms of satellites in distributed beamforming missions.

From the excitement of winning the Science Slam to the technical details of satellite orbits and propulsion systems, Citlali provides a comprehensive overview of the field. We also touch on the regulatory aspects of launching satellites and the future possibilities for these tiny marvels in space exploration and research.
