This intensive short course on satellite engineering aims to provide fundamental knowledge required to carry out satellite development programs. This course is composed of two different sets of lectures: the first one on space environment, orbit mechanics, spacecraft subsystems, and systems engineering; the second one on satellite assembly, integration and test, space product manufacturing plan, product assurance, verification and validation, risk management, ground support equipment, and launch and early operations.

During this course, the participants will be exposed to wide areas of space systems including its design, manufacturing, test, and operation.

 
 

The system design process including mission analysis is the core systems engineering activity in satellite development programs. This mission analysis and conceptual design course aims to expose participants to this core systems engineering activity and to train them with an efficient mission analysis and system design process required to carry out satellite development programs.

This course is performed based upon an Earth observation small satellite mission. Its objectives are to define top-level system requirements, to identify mission drivers, to perform mission analysis and design work, to translate user's requirements into performance specifications, and to generate overall program management plan according to mission requirements and constraints.

 

A joint team of participating engineers and Satrec Initiative engineers will perform the mission analysis work. The team will also carry out a series of analyses to investigate the feasibility of various possibilities.

The team will examine the details of payloads and the possibility to accommodate payloads in a small satellite system. This will include definition of mission objectives, characteristics and evaluation of the mission, and generation of requirements.

The following is an outline of activities to be performed.
