Summary

 

Spacecraft Systems  - MSc AERO70019

Aims

This module presents an industry standard methodology for spacecraft systems analysis and design. The main concepts covered in this course include the mission objectives: requirements analysis, political and regulatory constraints and financial considerations; the system as a whole: the launch vehicle/launch environment, spacecraft platform and ground segment; and the subsystem requirements: thermal, structure, power, electronics, communications and attitude control.

Role

Lecturer

Orbital Mechanics S3 - AERO70016 / 97079

Aims

This module presents the application of orbital mechanics and rigid body dynamics to a wide range of problems in non-atmospheric flight, along with analytical and numerical solutions to a wide range of problems in path planning and path optimisation such as fuel- or time-optimal trajectories. Spacecraft relative motion, stability and control are also analysed.
