MEMS and NanoSat Technologies for Defense and Research Fundamentals
"MEMS and NanoSat Technologies for Defense and Research Fundamentals" introduces Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems and nanosatellite integration for advanced space missions. Participants examine lightweight, scalable subsystems for sensing, propulsion, and communication. Given their small size, MEMS and NanoSats are uniquely vulnerable to cyber-physical attacks. The course teaches participants how to design secure miniature systems that protect telemetry, command links, and onboard processing from hostile access or disruption.
