Description

Objective:

The course objective is to be able to describe the space operating environment and basic orbital mechanics. Additionally, students will be able to define and identify the components of space architecture which include the space, link, and ground segments. Building upon this foundation graduates will be able to discuss space-lift and space operations and how space operators manage missions across a diverse set of space-based capabilities.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand current and historical trends and milestones in humanity’s exploration of and use of space.
  • Describe and discuss the uses of space in commercial and military applications.
  • Describe the effects of orbital mechanics and space environment on space systems.
  • Identify the components of the three segments of a space system and explain how these components and segments work together to meet mission requirements.
  • Describe the capabilities and limitations of space lift, including light-, medium-, and heavy-lift space launch vehicles, and identify common space launch facilities around the world.
  • Identify the major sub-systems of a satellite and explain how these sub-systems support a satellite’s payload.
  • Identify the components of mission management and explain mission operations systems.

General Topics:

  • • humanity’s exploration of and use of space. • space in commercial and military applications. • orbital mechanics and space environment. • mission management and mission operations systems
