EduSat programme · satellite-to-IoT
Train engineers to build, fly and operate real small satellites.
AfriOrbit’s learning platform for the EduSat CubeSat and IoT edge device. Structured tracks, hands-on labs on flight-representative hardware, and assessment rigorous enough that the certificate means something.

Systems engineering, not slideware
Power budgets, link budgets, and verification campaigns worked through with real numbers. Every module ends with arithmetic you can defend at a design review.
Hardware in the loop
Courses are built around the EduSat 1U platform and the IoT edge device. Kits are tracked, issued to a cohort, and returned — with a digital twin when hardware is in transit.
Assessed and certified
Server-graded assessments, instructor-graded lab reports against a published rubric, and certificates anyone can verify from a code.

LoRa for Satellite IoT
How LoRa trades data rate for range, what that costs in airtime, and how the SX1278 on the AfriOrbit IoT Edge Device is actually configured.
3 h · Certificate
Flight Computer Firmware
AfriOrbit's Morgan State University avionics progression, one concept per step, ending in a working CSV flight recorder on an ESP32 with a BMP280 and an MPU6050.
5 h · Certificate
Introduction to Space Systems
The foundation course. Satellite classification, the history that produced the CubeSat, Kenya's place in it, and a working command of the systems engineering lifecycle.
