Conducted from February 17โ28, 2025, in collaboration with Professor Hyuk Park and the UPC NanoSatLab at Universitat Politรจcnica de Catalunya (UPC), the workshop covered hands-on training on Pocket/CubeSat development including satellite architecture, subsystems, applications, integration, testing, and verification.ย
Demonstrated an AI-based LEO satellite simulator at MWC 2023, developed via an academia-industry project. Based on a Starlink-like constellation optimized for regional coverage, it featured an AI-enhanced model correcting SGP4 TLE errors, enabling real-time satellite position estimation at the UE side for improved autonomy and mobility management.ย
