This course builds upon the principles of orbital mechanics and spacecraft design learned in Space 100. Graduates of this course will be able to clearly articulate how satellites, payloads, and constellations are designed to provide specific capabilities. A thorough exploration of the scientific concepts behind the design of various space- based assets include the use of the Electromagnetic Spectrum in remote sensing, frequency allocation and budgets for satellite communications, and the intricacies of precision navigation and timing (PNT). For their final project, the students will design a payload, spacecraft and its associated systems and sub-systems, and constellation for a specific purpose as well as describe the launch and orbital transfer parameters required to ultimately achieve their design.
