Course Details

Country: United Kingdom
Institution: University of Surrey
Course Title: Space Dynamics and Missions
Course Number: EEE3039
Course Description: Student Journey: This module applies Engineering Mathematics concepts introduced in year 1 and 2 to the motion of objects in space. Combined with EEEM009 - Advanced Guidance Navigation & Control, which builds upon EEE3039 concepts to present students with a more in-depth overview of space-related hardware and software, EEE3039 aims at laying out the foundation for describing, predicting, and controlling the motion of objects in Space (both in terms of spacecraft position and orientation with respect to suitable reference frames). Module purpose: This module gives a hands-on approach to mission analysis and develops mathematical descriptions of the natural orbital and rotational motions of spacecraft. Material is delivered through a series of lectures, group problem solving and assessed assignments. The application to mission design is explored through group work and coding assignments.
