Space Systems Training Fundamentals Workshop

Space Systems Training Fundamentals Workshop course provides an overview of the fundamental concepts and technologies of modern spacecraft systems design. Satellite system and mission design is an interdisciplinary sport combining engineering, science, and external phenomena. We will concentrate on spacecraft systems’ scientific and engineering foundations and interactions among various subsystems. Examples show how to quantitatively estimate various mission elements (such as velocity increments) and conditions (equilibrium temperature) and how to size major spacecraft subsystems (propellant, antennas, transmitters, solar arrays, batteries). Real examples permit an understanding of the systems selection and trade-off issues in the design process. The fundamentals of subsystem technologies provide an indispensable basis for system engineering.

The basic nomenclature, vocabulary, and concepts will make it possible to converse with understanding with subsystem specialists. The Space Systems Fundamentals course is designed for engineers and managers involved in planning, designing, building, launching, and operating space systems and spacecraft subsystems and components. The extensive Space Systems Fundamentals Training course notes provide a concise reference for understanding, designing, and operating modern spacecraft. The Space Systems Fundamentals course will appeal to engineers and managers of diverse backgrounds and varying experience levels.
