Making Satellite Development More Accessible and Structured
HURDLES: Satellite System Development Program
Addressing the expanding satellite market and the growing need for space industry talent.

The Satellite System Development Program, part of HURDLES (Human Resource Development for Lean Space) is a training program that systematizes satellite development expertise. Based on a CubeSat concept developed in collaboration with Professor Mengu Cho and ArkEdge Space, the program offers versatile learning formats—ranging from individual on-demand courses, multi-day workshops to intensive three-week hands-on training sessions.

Fully aligned with the "Space Skill Standard" issued by the Cabinet Office of Japan, our curriculum supports diverse organizational needs, including reskilling, internal training, project management, and professional internships.
