COURSE OVERVIEW
Space Systems Training Fundamentals course provides an overview of the fundamentals of concepts and technologies of modern spacecraft systems design. Satellite system and mission design is an essentially interdisciplinary sport that combines engineering, science, and external phenomena. We will concentrate on the scientific and engineering foundations of spacecraft systems 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 are used to 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 who are involved in planning, designing, building, launching, and operating space systems and spacecraft subsystems and components. The extensive set of Space Systems Fundamentals Training course notes provides 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 levels of experience.
