YOUTH CLUB
Space Academy Singapore (SAS)
Singapore’s premiere space training programme conducted with a special focus to
promote science and engineering among students and create public awareness in
the space industry.
All rounded students aged 8 -12 (2 day programme) and 14 – 21 years old (5 day
intensive programme) partake in the programme conducted by current and former
NASA engineers/scientists, currently consultants to present-day NASA
projects.
The rigorous course follows the coveted astronaut selection
programme.
Space Academy Singapore (SAS)
jointly organized by

gttcx Rocket Propulsion
– Learn the theory, history and modern
approaches to rocket propulsion and rocket
design
– Hands-on! Working as a team to build high-
pressure water-rockets and evaluate your design
through a flight test
– Systematic review of activity: Compare computer
simulation results, analysis, and flight data
The most interesting lectures
were Systems Engineering and
Risk Management as I could see
the relevance of the topics to my
daily life.
Programme Highlights
Systems Engineering - Learn principles of project and risk management
- It’s all about putting the pieces together and understanding your
choices !
Programme Highlights
Satellite and Communication – Downlink data from a satellite over Singapore!
– Understand how satellite orbits affect global communications
– Learn the fundamentals of antennas and ground stations
Programme Highlights
Advanced Robotics Systems – Moon/Mars Rover Control Mission!
– Operate robotics and explore simulated
Mars terrain
– Situational awareness
Core Astronautics/Aeronautics Curriculum
Challenges in Space Environment
- Covers biological issues human encounter in space environments and countermeasures
one should take.
Fundamentals of Flight
- Covers the history of flight, advancing aerospace technology through the years,
principles of aeronautics and flight dynamics, engines, aerodynamics and basic
principles of pilot training.
Advanced Aerospace Technology and next generation MRO
- Covers the latest challenges in aircraft support services, maintenance in a new era of
composites and new alloys, studies in lighter aircraft, “green” technology and the
material sciences behind civil and military aircraft.
Programme Highlights
Astrodynamics & Robotic Exploration Module (Junior & Youth)
- Cover the history of Astrodynamics , deriving related equations and understand the
fundamentals of the NASA Robotic Exploration Mission.
Satellite Navigation, Location & Tracking (Junior & Youth)
- To learn how to process and analyze downloaded imagery from satellites and gain a better
understanding of real- world satellite applications through hands on experience with
guidance from camp instructors.
Fundamentals of Rocketry (Junior & Youth)
- Cover fundamentals of rocketry, before designing and building their own water rocket
system in groups and finally launching their water rocket,measuring the height of the
launch and rocket trajectory.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Programme (Junior & Youth)
- Cover fundamentals of integrating “man and machine” to form a formidable intelligence
platform, with its relevance highlighted. As part of the programme, participants get to fly an
AR Drone remotely controlled via an iphone or computer, and is expected to pass through
obstacles successfully.
Space commercialization (Youth)
- Cover the realities of risk-taking in space projects, especially with tight schedule and
budget constraint. Informed risk management is now a vital part of mission design and
tradeoff analysis. Project personnel must anticipate the risk drivers and mitigate them in
order to support the hard choices to meet cost and schedule goals without compromising
mission objectives.
Paintball (Youth)
- This fast paced, high tension, team oriented sport is an excellent team building exercise.
With a combat scenario similar to astronauts undergoing military training, participants are
pressured to make quick decisions, force good teamwork, and hones leadership.
Extreme Environment Training (Snow City: Junior & Youth ; Diving: Youth)
- Participants are put to test in an extreme environment of -11 to -14 Degree Celsius at the
Snow City. They are expected to work, think and act fast if they want to survive in the cold,
with a set of mission objectives to be completed. This activity requires physical and mental
strength, fostering team work and critical thinking.
Students will also undergo high element activities which students confront their fears, and at
the same time, creates opportunities for observing human reaction in negotiating challenges.
The objective of this session is to emphasize on the importance of team work as completing
simple tasks will prove to be difficult under different conditions.
Industry Site Visits (Youth)
- Industry site visits to Aerospace and Space related companies will be conducted
to allow them to interact with and appreciate the industry.
