SSDW Sponsorship
The Space Station Design Workshop (SSDW) is a one-week teaching & working seminar. The participants learn and practice Systems Engineering and the concept design of manned space systems in competitive teams.Read More
Reaction Control Systems
A reaction control system (RCS) is a spacecraft subsystem that uses small thrusters to provide attitude control (controlling the orientation of the spacecraft) and translation (moving the spacecraft in a specific direction). Unlike a main engine, which provides a large amount of thrust in one direction, an RCS consists of multiple small thrusters strategically placed around the spacecraft. By firing these thrusters in different combinations, the system can apply a small force or torque in any desired direction.

Rocket Engine Project
The space industry is experiencing significant growth, with a current value of 500 billion USD. It is projected to surpass a trillion USD by 2030. Unfortunately, Uganda and the broader East African region face challenges in accessing space due to the high barriers of entry which are technical and costly. This limitation hinders technological progress and economic growth in the area. The absence of a local space launch capability restricts the region’s full participation in the expanding space economy, which presents opportunities for scientific research, telecommunications, industrialization, and economic development.

Space Technology in Agriculture
This research project, a collaborative effort between Dojo Hub (SMC) Ltd and NileOrbital Aerospace Limited, alongside the Department of Computer and Communications Engineering at Makerere University, aimed to assess the viability and transformative potential of applying satellite technology to Uganda’s agricultural sector. The project was conceived as a multi-phase process, with the initial stage being an undergraduate research internship. The core objective was to address persistent challenges in the agricultural sector, such as climate variability, low productivity, and limited access to technology. This was approached through an interdisciplinary methodology that combined business, earth observation, and agricultural perspectives to understand the factors influencing the adoption of satellite applications.
