Course Details

Objectives: The aim of the course is to provide advanced training in the field of space systems engineering. From a strictly curricular view, teaching is oriented so that students acquire the necessary training to understand the scientific and technological methodology that governs the conception and design of a space system: space environment, orbital mechanics, attitude control, monitoring thermal, launchers, mechanisms and spatial structures, materials, power systems, systems management and data processing, communications, compatibility, reliability, etc., as well as the process of integration of the different subsystems in a spatial system.

Intended for: Students

Duration and terms: 2 semesters (120 ECTS credits)
