Test the claims.

These are the same computations that run inside the curriculum and the same frame format the hardware transmits. Nothing here is a mock-up.

01Access tiers

Three tiers, and the first one asks nothing of you.

A claim about a link budget should be checkable by the person who has to defend the purchase — before they give you an email address, and certainly before they give you a purchase order.

Tier 0Open — active

Anyone

Coverage simulator, link budget, orbit and pass planner, full specification summary.

Tier 1Verified institution

Confirmed institutional email

Telemetry console with recorded pass data, beacon decoder, curriculum preview, datasheet PDF, indicative price band.

Tier 2Qualified opportunity

Reviewed by the AfriOrbit team

Live hardware session on a real EduSat, formal quotation, procurement pack, pilot terms.

02 — The lab

Five modules. Three open right now.

5 min · Rocketry / Trajectory / Stability

Tier 0Available now

Rocket flight profile simulator

Pick a motor and an airframe, get an apogee, a max-Q, a stability verdict and a descent rate. The same integration students do by hand, and the same trade curve across every motor class.

Open

10 min · Spaceport / Orbital mechanics / Δv

Tier 0Available now

Launch azimuth and site advantage

What an equatorial launch site is actually worth, in kilometres per second, against Canaveral, Kourou or Baikonur. Set the target to the ISS plane and watch the advantage vanish — the honest version of a claim most spaceports only assert.

Open

10 min · RF / G/T / Eb/N0

Tier 0Available now

Link budget workbench

Both legs of the EduSat link, term by term. Change the ground antenna, move the LNA, add a scintillation fade, and watch the margin collapse.

Open

20 min · Operations / FDIR / Housekeeping

Tier 1Verified email

Telemetry console

A recorded pass from the bench EduSat, replayed frame by frame. Decode the beacon, watch the power budget move through eclipse, catch the heater fault.

Unlock

30 min · AX.25 / CRC / Framing

Tier 1Verified email

Beacon frame decoder

Hand-decode a real 24-byte AX.25 beacon with a working CRC-16/X.25, then corrupt it and see what the checksum does and does not catch.

03Beyond the lab

The assessed version lives in the Learning Hub.

The demo lab is where you check the arithmetic. The Learning Hub is where a cohort works through it properly — 31 hours of assessed material, instructor-graded lab reports against a published rubric, and certificates anyone can verify from a code.

Tell us the cohort size and the module you are trying to fill. We will size it with you, and say so if a smaller configuration would do.
