COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon completing this Space Environment and It’s Effects On Space Systems course, learners will be able to meet these objectives:

  • Space system failures caused by the space environment
  • Risk analysis, management, and mitigation
  • Fundamentals of the space neutral, plasma, solar, and radiation environments
  • Effects of the space environment on space systems and how to mitigate their effects
CUSTOMIZE IT
  • We can adapt this Space Environment & Its Effects On Space Systems 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 Space Environment & Its Effects On Space Systems course, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
  • We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the Space Environment & Its Effects On Space Systems 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 Space Environment & Its Effects On Space Systems course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.
