Summary
This three-day class is intended for both
students and professionals in astronautics and
space science. It is appropriate for engineers,
scientists, and managers trying to obtain the best
mission possible within a limited budget and for
students working on advanced design projects or
just beginning in space systems engineering. It is
the indispensable traveling companion for
seasoned veterans or those just beginning to
explore the highways and by-ways of space
mission engineering. Each student will be
provided with a copy of Space Mission Analysis
and Design [Third Edition], for his or her own
professional reference library.
Instructor
Edward L. Keith is a multi-discipline Launch
Vehicle System Engineer, specializing
in the integration of launch vehicle
technology, design, and business
strategies. He is currently conducting
business case strategic analysis, risk
reduction and modeling for the Boeing
Space Launch Initiative Reusable Launch Vehicle
team. For the past five years, Ed has supported the
technical and business case efforts at Boeing to
advance the state-of-the-art for reusable launch
vehicles. Mr. Keith has designed complete rocket
engines, rocket vehicles, small propulsion systems,
and composite propellant tank systems, especially
designed for low cost, as a propulsion and launch
vehicle engineer. His travels have taken him to
Russia, China, Australia and many other launch
operation centers throughout the world. Mr. Keith
has worked as a Systems Engineer for Rockwell
International, on the Brillant Eyes Satellite Program
and on the Space Shuttle Advanced Solid Rocket
Motor project. Mr. Keith served for five years with
Aerojet in Australia, evaluating all space mission
operations that originated in the Eastern
Hemisphere. Mr. Keith also served for five years on
Launch Operations at Vandenberg AFB, California.
Mr. Keith has written 18 papers on various aspects
of Low Cost Space Transportation over the last
decade.
