What do students learn?

StellarCamps are fun space system design camp for 6-12 grade students. Participants learn about aspects of space system, and no prior experience is required!

StellarCamps are best suited for high school and middle school students who are just getting into aerospace or who have some aerospace knowledge and want to learn more. Topics covered include:
​

  • History of Space exploration
  • Circular / Elliptical Orbits
  • Orbit Determination
  • Satellite Component Selection
  • Launch Vehicle Selection
  • Rockets
  • Basic principles using Systems Toolkit (STK) 

There are also many hands-on activities and practice exercises to review concepts covered in the curriculum, in addition to fun ice-breakers and teambuilding activities.

Every camp concludes with a mini-competition scenario to challenge participants on the skills they obtain over the course of the week.​
