What You'll Learn
As part of the initiative to foster the ecosystem of the Singapore space sector, this course provides exceptional professional learning and upskilling opportunities for individuals already employed or aspiring to work in the Singaporean space industry. The global space industry is projected to expand to a market size of US$1 trillion by 2040, compared to less than US$400 billion in 2020. This growth is primarily driven by the emergence of the "new space" industry, focusing on connectivity and satellite data analysis, which contributes to the digital transformation of terrestrial economies. The course effectively prepares participants for the digital economy generated by the space industry.
Upon completing this course, learners will possess the knowledge and skills required to make valuable contributions to the Singaporean space sector. It serves as a crucial foundation for individuals already working in or aspiring to work in the space industry, enabling them to actively participate in the design and planning of successful space missions.
