Astrodynamics  

Description

Course aim Astrodynamics is the keystone of every space mission, thus the aim of the course is to provide the fundamental knowledge regarding body motion subject to gravitational and other forces. Students will learn to describe and analyze spacecraft trajectories, focusing on the mathematics and physics behind these concepts. The acquired knowledge will be applied by simulating body motion in Matlab and Simulink. Description During the course students get familiar with the fundamentals of astrodynamics: body motion subject to gravitational and other (thrust and aerodynamic drag) forces, reference frames and orbital elements, two-, three-body problems are analyzed, including interplanetary trajectories and relative spacecraft motion.
