Case Studies
Here are some of the past projects and missions that Space Faculty has organised and collaborated on.
Space Applications and Future Technologies in HADR
In partnership with the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and Temasek Foundation, Space Faculty designed and delivered a training programme that introduced senior disaster management executives to the applications of space technologies.
With support from the Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (AKDN) and the World Bank, the programme focused on key technologies like Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) and their use in disaster management across Southeast Asia.
In collaboration with:
other space experiments
Space Faculty has partnered with different companies and organisations to support the successful execution of their space missions. In one such project, we worked with two leading Asian research institutions to manage all aspects of their mission, including sample selection, packaging, regulatory compliance, and logistics. Both sets of samples were successfully launched into space and safely returned.
Unibap – Edge Computing
in Space Workshop
Swedish company Unibap, Nanyang Technological University and Space Faculty collaborated to bring this Edge Computing in Space workshop to over 50 engineers in Singapore. This intense half-day workshop illustrated how edge computing can be achieved in space, and showcased Unibaps’ hardware, software and services. Participants benefitted from demonstrations and case studies presented by industry experts such as Addvalue Innovation’s CTO.
The course was also joined by participants of Space Faculty’s Bootcamp which provided valuable networking opportunities for all.
Nationwide Space Programme (2022 to 2026)
Organised by Space Faculty and supported by the Science Centre Singapore and the Office for Space Technology and Industry (OSTIn), the Integrated Space Programme is a multi-year nationwide initiative that engaged over 6,000 youths in various space training activities. These ranged from awareness talks and interactions with industry experts and astronauts, to designing and launching experiments into space, intensive data training, and hands-on nano-satellite design and assembly.
Through this programme, 22 students from 17 schools were guided to build their very own 3U satellite – MangoSat. The payload designed by the students consists of a multispectral imaging sensor intended to provide data to support citizen science initiative and research on effects such as Urban Heat Island. The payload can also help to conduct periodic monitoring of perennial sea ice melt along the expanding Northern Sea Route (NSR).
Airbus – Star Workshop
Space Faculty partnered with Airbus to deliver their prestigious C-Suite Star Workshop in Singapore. This exclusive platform united senior executives from diverse sectors and functions to engage in strategic discussions on transformative market opportunities and critical challenges. Through this thought leadership initiative, we were able to foster innovation, collaboration, and actionable insights for global enterprises shaping the future.
