Case Study: Melbourne Space Program advances student-led satellite design with Altium Designer and Altium 365

Melbourne Space Program builds the first student-led Earth imaging satellite with Altium

The Melbourne Space Program, a student-led organization, faced the challenge of preparing its members with real-world skills to build an Earth-imaging satellite. They needed industry-standard tools to manage complex PCB designs and enable seamless collaboration between multiple student teams. To bridge this gap, they leveraged Altium Education to gain free access to Altium Designer and Altium 365.

The solution implemented by Altium provided a shared cloud workspace on Altium 365, which streamlined collaboration and version control, eliminating the need to share files manually. This allowed students to efficiently manage design iterations and utilize integrated manufacturer part searches. As a result, the students gained invaluable hands-on experience with professional-grade tools, significantly enriching their educational experience and preparing them with a distinct advantage for their future engineering careers.
