Learning Outcomes
The space industry is demanding for space systems engineers with hands-on experience. The module imparts the basics of the methodical
detailed design and test of space equipment from a hands-on perspective. A focus is set on applying practical skills in mechanical,
electrical, and software design in the scope of a space project. The students shall be able to design and test hardware and software on a
component-, subsystem- or system level.
After successful completion of this module, students will be able to
- plan and execute a space project in the phases C and D according to European standards,
- apply basic software tools to design space equipment,
- document a space project according to European standards,
- apply their fundamental space engineering knowledge and skills in a hands-on project,
- recognize the importance of managing technical interfaces between different work packages,
- manage their interactions with people in an interdisciplinary and international team,
- present their work professionally in space project reviews,
- assemble, test, and verify space equipment.
Content
The module does not contain theoretical lectures but practically focuses on applying knowledge and skills from previous modules.
Depending on the project's topic, introductory sessions about the project and additional required content may be provided. Highly relevant
content like mechanical/electrical/software design, interface definition, project planning, testing, and more may be recapitulated depending
on the focus of the project. The weekly attendance is mainly used to discuss the development status of the project and the next steps.
