SAASST STK Workshop

The Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences, and Technology (SAASST) organized an STK workshop on Thursday, Nov. 25, 2021, as part of its CubeSat Laboratory activities for the academic year 2021/2022. The onsite workshop was given by Mr. Diogo Rodriguez, the AGI MENA Director. Mr. Diogo was assisted by Mrs. Tarifa Al-Kaabi and Mr. Yusuf Faroukh, both research engineers at the laboratory.

Systems Tool Kit, often referred to by its initials STK, is a multi-physics software application from Analytical Graphics, Inc. that enables engineers and scientists to perform complex analyses of ground, sea, air, and space platforms to share results in one integrated environment. The workshop participants had a unique experience learning the pre-conditions and conditions of setting a space launch through several interactive simulations. SAASST is in its fifth year of running the STK application through a special license with AGI.
