COURSE OVERVIEW
The spacecraft Propulsion Systems Training course is designed for professionals interested in how rocket propulsion is applied to spacecraft including attitude control, orbit change, and orbit maintenance. This Spacecraft Propulsion Systems course begins with a review of space mission fundamentals as they drive spacecraft propulsion system requirements. This is followed by an explanation of how those requirements are flowed down to the propulsion system and how the propulsion system is made to meet them. It includes an overview of the relevant propulsion technologies (e.g., cold gas, chemical, electric), propulsion technology selection, system design, and component evaluation.
