. "Space systems"@en . . "5.00" . "Unit Information\nThe unit introduces spacecraft engineering from a system level perspective. First students learn about the context of space exploration through a history of space lecture. Then payloads as the drivers of mission design are examined. After this, orbital mechanics is covered up to Hohmann transfer level. Labs are used to reinforce understanding of orbital mechanics with a short piece of coursework using the orbit modelling software to assess understanding of calculations and terminology.\n\nPropulsion and launchers follow with calculations of delta V. Then spacecraft subsystems are covered next (including power, thermal, communications, mechanical systems, AOCS), with an emphasis on how these systems work together to deliver a specific mission. A blackboard quiz provides feedback to give students a chance to test themselves. The course finishes with two industrial satellite case studies, at least one of these is provided by industry. Example sheets, examples classes, videos and demonstrations support the learning throughout.\n\nYour learning on this unit\nOn successful completion of the course students will be able to:\n\nexplain terminology used to describe orbits;\nperform calculations for Keplerian orbits and transfers;\ndescribe the constituents and functioning of spacecraft subsystems;\nperform calculations for rockets and spacecraft subsystems;\ndescribe mission examples of subsystem design implementation." . .

"This three-year course covers a broad range of subjects organised into three streams:\n\naerodynamics\ndynamics and control\nstructures and materials.\nThese subjects are specialised from year one and are taught with aerospace applications and examples.\n\nThe first two years are devoted to core concepts, taught via lectures and backed up by practical experience through coursework and lab work. Further material, such as space applications and aviation operations, are covered in specialist units.\n\nYou will also learn skills that cross all the streams, such as computing, systems engineering and design. There is extensive mathematical content throughout.\n\nThe diversity of topics makes this a challenging degree but the reward is a uniquely broad education."@en . . "3"@en . "FALSE" . .
