"Course Contents IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please read the restrictions under \"Assessment\"\n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\nThe course aims at giving a complete overview of re-entry systems, mainly from a mission point of view, but also from the\nsystem point of view. To begin with the mission, the fundamental principles of mechanics (Newton's Laws) are applied to derive\nthe equations of motion for translational and rotational motion. Subsequently, simplifications are applied to give a description of\nplanar ballistic, gliding and skipping flight, where the focus will be on analytical solutions for quantifying maximum mechanical\nand thermal loads. Next, typical mission applications, such as planetary entry and descent with parachutes and/or propulsion\nsystems are discussed, as well as terminal-area flight of winged entry vehicles. To extend the mission applications, attention is\nalso paid to the atmospheric flight aspects during an aero-gravity assist, aerocapture and aerobraking. As many re-entry missions\nrely on the application of guidance, navigation and control systems, the fundamentals of each of these three sub-systems will be\ndiscussed and applied in simple examples, such that after the course the student has a starting point for further study. The relation\nbetween vehicle configurations (capsule, winged, lifting body, etc.) and mission aspects, such as flight time and (maximum)\nsystem loads is a typical system aspect that will pass review. Finally, all presented theory will be combined in a so-called\ndevelopment plan for building a simulator that can be used for performance analysis of both controlled and uncontrolled re-entry\nvehicles. How to use such a simulator efficiently is depending on what kind of simulation and analysis technique will be used.\nTherefore, the course is concluded with an overview of such techniques like Monte-Carlo Analysis, and how to extract the\nrequired information from the simulated data.\nCourse Contents\nContinuation\nLecture Topics (the actual topics covered may vary per year):\n#01 Introduction\n#02 Entry Environment and Aeroheating\n#03 Fundamentals of Motion\n#04 Ballistic entry\n#05 Gliding Entry\n#06 Skip Entry\n#07 Guidance, Navigation and Control\n#08 Planetary Entry and Descent\n#09 Advanced Descent and Landing Systems\n#10 Terminal Area Energy Management\nStudy Goals At the end of this course, the student will be able to (depending on topics covered):\n1.
