AENG 559 - Advanced Space Mission Design

Institution:

Saint Louis University-Main Campus

Subject:

Aerospace Engineering

Description:

Working in teams, students will perform a complete “Phase A” study of a proposed space mission, culminating in an overall system description, preliminary design and subsystem-level requirements, as well as a feasibility study for developing this mission at St Louis University. The proposed mission will relate to near-term research interests of the instructor and other faculty with the intent of developing a real spacecraft. Students will be responsible for developing requirements and performing trade studies, preliminary sizing and mission analysis for all necessary subsystems (structures, power, thermal control, communications, command & data handling, attitude control, and/or navigation). Where possible, hardware prototypes and simulations will be created. Students will learn through lecture, individual research, and team projects. Prerequisite: AENG 553
