SPACE DYNAMICS

SPACE DYNAMICS

Space Dynamics is a crucial field in aerospace engineering that deals with the motion of celestial bodies and artificial satellites. This course covers the fundamental concepts and advanced topics necessary to understand and analyze the dynamics of objects in space. You will start with the basics of celestial mechanics, including Kepler's laws and Newton's law of gravitation, and then move on to more complex subjects like orbital maneuvers, perturbations, and spacecraft attitude dynamics. The course also includes practical aspects of mission planning, trajectory optimization, and spacecraft navigation. By integrating theoretical knowledge with real-world applications, this course prepares you to tackle challenges in the design and operation of space missions.
