This unit equips students with a range of advanced space skills and understanding, including: calculate hyperbolic trajectories; describe the perturbations affecting orbits and trajectories; plan a planetary mission using orbit modelling tools; create a link budget for a ground station; design a spacesuit for a given environment; compile factors influencing the design of space stations; evaluate technical approaches for a single stage to orbit launch; appraise rocket propellant feed and cooling systems; evaluate spacecraft reentry body designs
Upon successful completion of this unit students will be able to:
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, which may include lectures, practical activities supported by drop-in sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises.
