Space Technology Research Group
Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics Department of Broadband Infocommunications and Electromagnetic Theory
Introduction of the Research Group
The research team is involved in the design and construction of the equipment to be operated in outer space. This is primarily an engineering, technological activity, during which units of spacecraft and satellites for the purpose of a scientific or on-board service system are made. At the same time, the group is also developing satellite-based equipment for scientific purposes. This includes the construction of ground support units and test equipment. The group is also involved in theoretical research related to space technology.
