From GEO telecom constellations to lunar CubeRover prototypes, USC’s Astronautical Engineering majors craft hardware in the Space Science Institute (SSI) cleanroom and command ground-station arrays via SDR links. Coursework fuses orbital mechanics, deep-space comms, and avionic firmware, while a Hack-A-Sat cybersecurity sprint embeds zero-trust (ZT) protocols into spacecraft buses. Collaboration with Jet Propulsion Laboratory mentors elevates TRL of student payloads bound for rideshares on Falcon 9 and Electron launchers.
