STK Workshop Certification (Level 1, 2, and 3)

The Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences, and Technology (SAASST) is conducting a series of STK certification levels workshops for the University of Sharjah students and SAASST staff. The workshop started on February 07 and will end on March 03.

Systems Tool Kit (STK) is an indispensable digital mission engineering application for aerospace, defense, telecommunications, and other industries. It features an accurate, physics-based modeling environment to analyze

platforms and payloads in a realistic mission context.

With STK, you can analyze the performance of complex systems with a focus on their operational environments. STK can model systems inside a realistic and time-dynamic three-dimensional simulation that includes high-resolution terrain, imagery, RF environments, and much more. You can select, build, or import precise models of ground, sea, air, and space assets and combine them to represent existing or proposed systems.

Level 1 STK Certification covers the fundamental skills of the free version of STK. This test will require the user to demonstrate proficiency with the basic features of STK, such as building basic scenarios, generating reports, and recording videos.

Level 2 STK Master Certification covers the advanced skills needed to use STK’s core add-on modules productively. This advanced certification level covers STK Professional, Analysis Workbench, Coverage, Communications, Radar, Aviator, and Astrogator. 

Level 3 STK Grand Master Certification contains seven individual tracks covering STK’s specialized add-on modules focused on different application areas. In addition, each track has a unique set of recommended tutorials which take up to eight hours to complete.
