UCT SpaceLab

Historically important University of Cape Town SpaceLab postgraduate/student space-studies programme, founded in 2014. Official UCT sources document student satellite-operations modelling, a tested software-defined-radio ground station that received and decoded packets from two low-Earth-orbit satellites, and continuing space-systems research outputs. Stored as historical programme activity; no flown-satellite ownership, orbital-mission success, or standalone aerospace degree is claimed.
