| Description |
This course examines the design of a modern spacecraft or complex space system, including the space environment and its impact on design. The principals and design aspects of the structure, propulsion, power, thermal, communication, and attitude subsystems are studied. The course also introduces systems engineering, project management, manufacturing and test, mission operations, mission design, and space policy. Acting as a single project team, students will design a satellite or space system from conception to critical design review. |
