69th International Astronautical Congress: #InvolvingEveryone, IAC 2018, Bremen, Almanya, 1 - 05 Ekim 2018, cilt.2018-October
Initiated in early 2015 and officially started by the end of 2016, Asia Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (APSCO) Student Small Satellite (SSS) program aims to train students and faculties from Member States (Bangladesh, China, Iran, Mongolia, Pakistan, Peru, Thailand and Turkey) by involving them in a real project where they can experience the whole life cycle of a space mission. With this, the program also targets capacity building and human resource development. Within the scope of the program, three satellites, one micro satellite (SSS-1) and two 3U cube satellites (SSS-2A and SSS-2B), will be designed, manufactured and operated. In this paper, educational and technical activities of the APSCO SSS project were presented from the perspective of SSS-2B cube satellite. The framework for an effective education program was discussed considering the dynamics and common interests between the international actors ranging from governmental and public institutions to universities and nongovernmental organizations. In the first part, the education approach and programs such as three-week long summer camps were presented. In the second part, the preliminary design outputs of SSS-2B satellite including mission and system specifications were summarized.
