Goals of ENAE 791 • Learn the underlying physics (orbital mechanics, flight mechanics, aerothermodynamics) which constrain and define launch and entry vehicles • Develop the tools for preliminary design synthesis, including the fundamentals of systems analysis • Provide an introduction to engineering economics, with a focus on the parameters affecting cost of launch and entry vehicles, such as reusability • Examine specific challenges in the underlying design disciplines, such as thermal protection and structural dynamics U N I V E R S I T Y O F MARYLAND Tuesday, January 31, 2012 10 Course Overview; Orbital Mechanics ENAE 791 - Launch and Entry Vehicle Design
