Description of the module
The module teaches the fundamentals of space engineering. Space systems engineers require general knowledge of various technical and programmatic topics in space engineering. This knowledge enables them to classify their space projects in terms of scope, space history, space environment, possible orbits, launch vehicle options, and many other aspects. The module introduces software tools relevant to space engineers. Students will be able to use these tools and apply the knowledge gained in other modules and in their careers.
