Course Objectives
To understand the basic concepts in space mission design, the considerations are given in such design and the engineering disciplines it involves
Course Content
The goal of this course is to teach students the fundamental considerations in space mission design. In addition, they will be trained on the basic components of space systems, their functions, and the design requirements associated with them. Through the design activity they will carry out in the course, the students are also expected to understand the various phases of a space mission project and gain the necessary skills to be able to function in space system design teams.
