General description The space vehicles operate in a very different environment than the earth. This environment is critical when defining the design requirements of the space vehicles.
In addition to the space environment, it is under the scope of this subject the study of the necessary concepts of orbital mechanics for the understanding of the main application orbits, maneuvers and perturbations of the space vehicles.
Main subsystems of a space vehicle are studied, as well, with special attention to the subsystem of thermal control and the subsystem of attitude control.
Labs are included using specific material and simulation software of mission analysis.
English Friendly subject: International students may request from the teachers: a) materials and bibliographic references in English, b) tutoring sessions in English, c) exams and assessments in English.
