AERO 650 Space Systems Engineering
This course provides the fundamentals of space mission engineering. Starting from the physics of the space environment and orbital mechanics, it demonstrates how to develop the design of a space system from the initial mission objective, through requirements definition, concept development and trade-off. Then it analyses the main subsystems of a spacecraft: thermal, power, structures, mechanism, propulsion, attitude determination and control, communications, telemetry, tracking and command.
