This repository hosts the public materials and outcomes of the Small Satellite Workshop 2025 organized at The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) by SpaceSec UTD.
The workshop combined lectures, hands-on assembly, radio communication exercises, and lab activities centered on small satellites and the AMSAT CubeSatSim platform. It covered satellite fundamentals, low Earth orbit (LEO), subsystem design, telemetry, RF communications, radiation effects, and deorbit systems.
