Master in Aerospace Communication Systems
The aim of the MSCA is to train engineers to design, build and adjust electronic systems for the space environment. In electronic systems we include technologies related to computer control and automation systems, telecommunications systems and sensor systems used in space. This training will have an obstinacy, always present: acquisition of skills to develop efficient and 100% reliable equipment in a hostile environment, such as space. It is intended to develop personal and interpersonal skills that facilitate academic and professional integration in an environment where challenges are permanent. Teamwork and business management, assimilated throughout this training, will allow finding solutions to the challenges arising from the space industry.
