Spacecraft propulsion  

Description

Provide a fundamental knowledge of in-space propulsion systems, i.e., thrusters which are used in space missions for a variety of applications, including deep space exploration, attitude control and station keeping. Provide the necessary tools and models for analyzing the operation and performance of electrothermal, electrostatic, electromagnetic, and nuclear thermal rockets. Attention will be devoted to "green" alternatives to conventional chemical propulsion systems for future spacecraft to improve overall propellant efficiency, while reducing the handling concerns associated with the usage of toxic fuels.
