Overview
About the course
A Space mission is essentially a compromise. It represents the best overall solution to the user requirements of a large number of elements including the spacecraft, launch vehicle and ground segment. All of these systems interact strongly with each other but they must work in harmony.
The Space Systems Engineering course at the University of Southampton gives a broad view of the space mission, and gives an insight into the working of its subsystems and how they interact with each other. This includes aspects of spacecraft systems engineering as a discipline, mission analysis, attitude control, propulsion, telecommunications, power, spacecraft structures, product assurance and assembly, integration and verification.
