COURSE OVERVIEW
The introduction to Space Training course serves well as both an introductory course and a refresher course. It appeals to those new to the field as well as specialists that want a broader look at the fundamentals of contemporary space system design and application. Topics include: (1) an introduction to the fundamentals of space sciences and engineering, including cosmology, the near-Earth and space environments, orbital mechanics, and propulsion; (2) descriptions of basic space system applications (communications, remote sensing, navigation), how they have evolved, and some of the fundamental engineering characteristics involved in each; and (3) an introduction to space system and mission design including discussions of spacecraft subsystems, launch systems, ground systems, and operations, and the mission design (systems engineering) process.
Throughout the course, descriptive examples of notable systems, both historic and current, are used to illuminate each topic. The instruction material places emphasis on identifying the important basic concepts and illuminating their influence on the design of current and future space missions. The course also stresses the ways in which space systems influence the many aspects of our daily lives.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completing this Introduction to Space Training course, learners will be able to meet these objectives:
CUSTOMIZE IT
- We can adapt this Introduction to Space Training course to your group’s background and work requirements at little to no added cost.
- If you are familiar with some aspects of this Introduction to Space Training course, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
- We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the Introduction to Space Training around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
- If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policy-maker), and present the Introduction to Space Training course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.
AUDIENCE/TARGET GROUP
The target audience for this Introduction to Space course:
- The Introduction to Space course content and material is relevant for both civilian and military personnel and would be of interest to those new to the field (including general space enthusiasts) as well as to area specialists including managers, engineers, operators, and even non-technical persons involved in other aspects of space systems development and operation. It covers space-related topics from A to Z allowing the successful completer to “talk the talk” and understand the basics of this diverse field. This Introduction to Space course was designed to be the cornerstone for anyone interested in learning the basics about spacecraft and the missions they perform, and as such would be an excellent first course to take before going into any related specialized areas. Because of the fundamental and popular nature of the presentation material, detailed prior technical knowledge is not required.
