UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal
Help Shape the Future of the UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal
The UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal is your one-stop platform for resources on space-based disaster risk management. It provides: • Links and guidance on satellite data sources and applications • Recommended practices and step-by-step methodologies • Training materials and tutorials • Case studies and user stories from real-world applications • News and updates on UN-SPIDER activities, events, and global developments
Since its last major review in 2012, the Portal has evolved significantly. Now, we want to hear from you.
We invite you to take part in the 2025 evaluation of the UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal!
The programme, one of India's contributions to the UNISPACE+50 initiatives, aims at capacity building in satellite technology for participants from countries interested in developing a space programme by providing hands-on experience in building and testing of nano satellites. The primary objectives of the programme are:
To offer a simplified and increased exposure to satellite fabrication technologies, as part of the UNISPACE initiative-To provide theoretical course on satellite technology
To provide intensive course on nano satellite realisation, covering mission aspects, design, fabrication, assembly, integration & testing
To provide hands-on training to assemble, integrate and test a low cost, modular nano satellite
The course structure of the programme is as follows:
Module 1: Basics of satellite technology and its applications
Module 2: Nano satellite missions
Module 3: Hands-on training on nano satellite assembly, integration and testing
The course is aimed at Engineering/ Science graduates or Post graduates who have an aptitude to learn space technology, design of circuits for various space systems and management of space systems. Each participating country shall nominate a team of 2 members consisting of one Mechanical Engineer and one Electrical / Electronics Engineer.
