“The course is varied and interactive, by having short sessions and different people who give them, it becomes very interesting, and you can pay more attention”
INVAP SE
“The breadth and depth of Satellite Communication Systems was comprehensive and presented by experts in a clear manner. After attending Satellite 2023 in Washington, DC, I compared this course with several others and found this to have the best coverage of this domain area.”
IEEE
“An enjoyable and challenging course. Covering every aspect of satellite communications as given by experts in a way that was simple enough for a newbie like me to follow.”
