sacha tholl

I work as a teacher assistant at the Institute of space Technology of the University of Applied Sciences of Aachen and I am the head of the FH Aachen Space Operations Facility, a multi-mission operations center for amateur radio satellites, small satellites and University CubeSats for a purely educational, ergo non-commercial purpose

My first access to satellite communications and dev. operations began with the WREN space program, the first 1p-Pocketqube satellite which made it into space for which I became the project leader in 2012. Later I was designated as a flight director for the Compass-2 Mission.  Most of the Software we use for antenna- and radio-control, as well as spacecraft monitoring and commanding is developed in- house with LabVIEW.
