AERO 784 Adv Space Systems Engineering
This course aims at providing a graduate level understanding 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.
