Description of the module
The module is held in English in each winter semester and teaches the fundamentals of the dynamics and control of spacecraft. Students will gain knowledge in the theory of dynamics, kinematics and attitude determination of spacecraft, classical attitude control as well as model-based state estimation and control of spacecraft in state space. Furthermore, various concepts and implementations of attitude control in spacecraft and satellites will be conveyed. The lecture notes are available on the corresponding ISIS website. Please register there.
