Aerospace Satellite Engineering

About this course

Aerospace satellite engineering sits at one of the most dynamic frontiers of modern technology. Satellites now underpin global communications, navigation, weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and a growing range of defence and commercial applications. The engineering disciplines required to design, build, launch, and operate satellites draw on aerospace engineering, electronics, orbital mechanics, and systems integration, making it a technically demanding but richly rewarding field of study. This three-year full-time programme at the University of Northumbria at Newcastle develops the engineering knowledge and analytical skills needed to work in the aerospace and space sectors. You will study the principles of aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, and flight systems alongside the specific challenges of satellite design: power management in orbit, thermal control, communications syst
