Course description and aims

A large-scale integrated system consisting of spacecraft (satellite, probe, and space station), rocket, ground systems, and communication network is required for space development, space utilization and space exploration. The scope of this course is to show element and system technologies and engineering management methodologies (systems engineering, project management, and safety and mission assurance) required for development and operations of those space systems. (The course includes control engineering, structural mechanics, electrical engineering, and communication engineering.)

Student learning outcomes

The goal of this course is to achieve the capability of conceptual design of spacecraft system necessary for space mission.
