Spaceflight mechanics  

Description

The course aims at developing the fundamental engineering aspects of orbital and attitude dynamics of rigid spacecraft, starting from ideal conditions (Keplerian motion and free-spinning spacecraft), then including relevant practical aspects, such as the effects of perturbing and control force and torques, up to the determination of control and maneuver strategies in response of mission requirements. At the end of the course, the student is expected 1) to understand the most relevant aspects of spacecraft dynamic behavior; 2) to solve problems which requires the determination of orbit features, orbital maneuvers or characterize attitude motion of a rigid spacecraft.
