Description

Wireless communication plays a fundamental role before, during, and after the flight. It allows the ground station to monitor system status and evaluate potential risks, transmit data in real time to track the rocket's altitude, speed, and other critical parameters, and facilitate recovery by communicating the rocket's GPS location. Due to its critical importance, our team needs a specialized engineer to design, simulate, and develop the rocket-ground station communication system at the physical layer. The role will involve extensive research, investigation of technologies and protocols, and positioning and pointing of ground and onboard antennas to optimize data transmission. Projects will be developed in close collaboration with other division members.
