MultiPlanet University, Education, Space Physics, and Payload Engineering Program

This study discusses and analyzes academic programs and Payload & Software Engineering Programs with MultiPlanet University (MPU). A Satellite Build and Engineering (SBE 521) Program and Payload Engineering Software Course was coordinated with MPU and partners. After payload launch & build of HAB Balloon payload in Summer 2025, R&D culminates in operations and launch for first satellite and on-orbit TRL demonstrations. In building and testing satellites, software and data analysis, researchers and students are immersed in R&D hands on experiences to engineer, operate payloads, improve guidance navigation control (GNC), in orbit maneuver TCMs, software, engineer subsystems, mission time cost savings to improve life and systems on Earth and beyond.
