Spacecraft Design

UNITS:3
GRADING:Letter (ABCD/NP)
LEVEL:Undergrad
GER:WIM

Space Capstone I. This course is focused on the design and implementation of uncrewed spacecraft with an emphasis on nano-satellites. Practical laboratory exercises will introduce students to the fundamentals of flight software, electronics, and mechanical design while building on a flight-proven spacecraft architecture. Students will work in teams to develop and present their design of a spacecraft subsystem. Required for Aero/Astro majors. For all other majors consent of instructor is required. Enrollment priority will be given to Aero/Astro seniors.
