MASTER Aéronautique et espace - Parcours Master of Science : satellite communication systems : from engineering to end-to-end systems (SATCOM)

Présentation

Mastère Spécialisé dispensé en anglais, co-habilité avec Telecom Sud Paris

For more then so years, satellite systems have demonstrated capabilities to collect and spead, better than any other technologies, messages and data in a vast coverage area for the benefit of thousand users, the space communications market represents one of the most commercially profitable business permanent evolutions.
Consequently companies of the sector, for space system development or for services and applications, recruit permanently junior executives with a specific expertise adapted to the specifics of the environment and quickly operational. The master SCS is designed to offer students with necessary and up-to-date knowledge for mastering different aspects of digital communications, signal processing, and networks techniques used in space-based communication or navigation systems.

Objectifs

Thus, the master SCS emphasizes on the following objectives:

• give a global system approach by emphasizing the environment, the limitations and the contraints, the interfaces and the expected performances.
• improve the disciplines interacting in the conception of these systems : signal processing, communications, data processing and networks.
• acquire and master design and simulation tools of the sector.
• train to the development of applications of these systems for space - aeronautics and embedded-systems domains.
