Fundamentals of space systems engineering; The system engineering process for space missions; Model-based design for spacecrafts and space flight systems; Elements of mission analysis and design; Elements of analysis and design for spacecraft subsystems (structure and mechanisms, thermal control; attitude control and orbit determination; command and data handling; propulsion; communication; power); The course will involve preliminary design of a full space system (spacecraft, lander, rover) to accomplish specific mission goals and objectives (e.g. scientific); The course will include lectures on special topics that are specific to the targeted space system design project developed during the semester. Graduate-level requirements include in-depth analysis of spacecraft subsystems, e.g. design of algorithms for trajectory guidance and attitude control; study of navigation algorithms; Development of detailed thermal and vibration models; design and analysis of science payloads.
