Space Systems FundamentalsCourse # P245SummaryThis four-day course provides an overview of thefundamentals of concepts and technologies of modernspacecraft systems design. Satellite system andmission design is an essentially interdisciplinary sportthat combines engineering, science, and externalphenomena. We will concentrate on scientific andengineering foundations of spacecraft systems andinteractions among various subsystems. Examplesshow how to quantitatively estimate various missionelements (such as velocity increments) and conditions(equilibrium temperature) and how to size majorspacecraft subsystems (propellant, antennas,transmitters, solar arrays, batteries). Real examplesare used to permit an understanding of the systemsselection and trade-off issues in the design process.The fundamentals of subsystem technologies providean indispensable basis for system engineering. Thebasic nomenclature, vocabulary, and concepts willmake it possible to converse with understanding withsubsystem specialists.The course is designed for engineers and managerswho are involved in planning, designing, building,launching, and operating space systems andspacecraft subsystems and components. Theextensive set of course notes provide a concisereference for understanding, designing, and operatingmodern spacecraft. The course will appeal toengineers and managers of diverse background andvarying levels of experience.InstructorDr. Mike Gruntman is Professor of Astronautics atthe University of Southern California.He is a specialist in astronautics, spacetechnology, sensors, and spacephysics. Gruntman participates inseveral theoretical and experimentalprograms in space science and spacetechnology, including space missions.He authored and co-authored more 200 publications invarious areas of astronautics, space physics, andinstrumentation.What You Will Learn• Common space mission and spacecraft busconfigurations, requirements, and constraints.• Common orbits.• Fundamentals of spacecraft subsystems and theirinteractions.• How to calculate velocity increments for typicalorbital maneuvers.• How to calculate required amount of propellant.• How to design communications link.• How to size solar arrays and batteries.• How to determine spacecraft temperature.January 19-22, 2015Albuquerque, New Mexico$1990 (9:00am - 4:30pm)"Register 3 or More & Receive $100 00 eachOff The Course Tuition."Course Outline1.
